    LinkedIn wants a piece of Wordle’s success

    Here’s what we got into this morning:

    Apple may tap Google for AI: Sure, Apple is working on its own AI tech, but Google’s Gemini model could be headed for an iPhone near you. Bloomberg broke the news.
    Grok goes open source: As promised, xAI’s LLM Grok is out for people to play with. Most importantly, startup founders seem excited.
    Reddit’s IPO makes progress: Oversubscription is always a good signal, but is also no promise of IPO riches to come.
    Gumroad says ‘no thanks’ to NSFW content: Another year, another platform booting adult creators. It’s a tale as old as time!
    Gaming is coming to LinkedIn: Look I don’t know what to tell you other than that all platforms eventually become one.
