FUTO Swipe: Open models for on-device swipe typing

Hi everyone!

Swipe typing is one of those features that sounds simple, but is actually incredibly difficult to get right without relying on a closed keyboard system.

FUTO created a three-model system to solve this: a 635K-parameter layout-agnostic encoder, a 300K-parameter QWERTY decoder, and a 1.5M reference language model. Because the footprint is small, the whole thing can run locally in milliseconds.

The release of the Wait and C++ beam search libraries means people can now create proper swipe typing for VR, laptops, or alternative mobile platforms without relying on closed-source blobs.

The best way to experience it today is with the FUTO Keyboard.
