OpenAI is reportedly discussing a potential investment in a new startup that aims to compete with Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink. The news comes as the feud between Musk and OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman escalates.

Sam Altman is in the process of co-founding a new brain-to-computer interface startup called Merge Labs, and raising funds for it with the capital expected to largely come from OpenAI’s ventures team, unnamed sources told the Financial Times.

US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled on Tuesday that Musk would face allegations of weaponized legal claims and continued social media attacks against his former business colleague-turned-rival Sam Altman, and the artificial intelligence company that they co-founded together, which produces ChatGPT.
