OpenAI's Gratz - I will-
Judge: Sorry I called you Mr. Rohit
Gratz: It's fine. Why should GPT 4.5 be out? It is a later model. It was only included in Tremblay as a compromise. It did not exist yet. It had been mentioned in the press. 4v? It was under development

Microsoft's lawyer: Microsoft was not a defendant in the Tremblay action. What we said in May was based on our understanding of the scope of the case for Microsoft. Now they are trying to add everything in. It doesn't work with the schedule you've set

Plaintiffs' lawyer: We'd like you to reconsider. Sam Altman talked about GPT 5 - so it was properly part of the consolidated case. Also GPT 4 b-
Judge: I did not reference that.
Plaintiffs' lawyer: You said GPT 4 v, it is an LLM available at that time.

Judge: I'm not going to rule on the issue of what we exclude from Microsoft. GPT 3, GPT 3.5, GPT 3.5 Turbo, GPT 4 and GPT Turbo are in. GPT 1, 2.. 5, they are out.
I won't decide GPT 4 oh and 4 oh mini I won't decide.
Let me go to AI.

Microsoft's lawyer: They are the ones with information about impact on their earning - royalty statements and the like. That needs to come from them. And they have not been producing that to us, much to our chagrin. People use Microsoft Word to write books, yes

Plaintiffs' lawyer: If we cannot get into new Co-Pilot, the assistant, we will be handicapped in our infringement claims. It allows people to create tons of books that might compete with John Grisham. To assess it, don't surgically remove the products GPT powers

Microsoft's lawyer: We did not unilaterally refuse to provide discovery - it's that Magistrate Judge Wang ruled, No new products.
Judge: She was sitting next to me. She added one new product at that point. Plaintiffs'?
Plaintiffs' lawyer: We need to check Co-Pilot

Microsoft's lawyer: New consumer Co-pilot, and the Microsoft Office suite of products should not be in the case. We should not start over with them in. The case would become three or four times what it is now. We drew the line at ChatGPT run in MS' platform

Judge: They've said they stipulate that the case is not about Microsoft's LLMs, correct?
Plaintiffs' lawyer Rohit Nath of Susman: Yes we have-
Judge: OK, stop right there. That's done. The other issue is that the action is limited to books, right?
Nath: Yes.

Microsoft's lawyer: It should only go up to ChatGPT 4 Turbo, that's it. We need some alterations to Paragraph 397
Judge: I'm not going to be tinkering with the Complaint on a motion to strike, that's for scandalous material, or irrelevancies.

Judge Stein: Let's more on to the motions to strike.
Microsoft's lawyer Annette Hurst of Orrick: Microsoft's model's limitations are different from OpenAI's. We are glad you've said, no new models in the case. Judge Wang drew that line. So, strike Paras 81 & 82

OpenAI's lawyer: The class plaintiffs have not identified any infringement other than what they themselves created. It cannot establish liability. In the news case, you cited Matthew Bender v. West in which the 2d Circuit found no plausible infringement

OpenAI's Pritt: ChatGPT can regurgitate from works; OpenAI trains its model to provide summaries of copyrighted works. They claim they don't - but that's only in the confidential material. Look at the Martin novel, including an outline of a sequel with plot lines
