Introducing Apex: A Fast, Specialized Model for React Native
Cody and Justy dig into Callstack's Apex, a specialized React Native coding model built on Gemma 4. Cody pushes on the self-reported benchmarks, the 'private beta with our own engineers' problem, and whether 'specialized' is real or just branding.
