OpenAI Says Apple’s ChatGPT Tools ‘Dramatically Underperformed’

OpenAI claims that Apple’s ChatGPT tools “dramatically underperformed.” [1] The Financial Times identifies the subject of the claim specifically as Apple’s ChatGPT tools. [1] The phrase “dramatically underperformed” appears in the source headline as OpenAI’s characterization of those tools’ performance. [1] The headline attributes that characterization to OpenAI, rather than stating it as an unqualified finding by the Financial Times. [1]

The central fact available here is not a disclosed benchmark result but an attributed performance claim: OpenAI says Apple’s ChatGPT tools dramatically underperformed. That distinction matters because the supplied material offers no scores, methods, tasks, product versions, or response from Apple, leaving no basis for a technical comparison. Readers should therefore treat the wording as an attributed assessment rather than a demonstrated conclusion. What the sources don't address: what tests OpenAI used or how Apple’s tools performed on them.
