“Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation,” he wrote.
Grok, xAI’s AI mannequin, presently ranks sixth within the App Store’s “Top Free Apps” part for iPhones within the United States, whereas ChatGPT tops the listing.
