FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model
FUTO has released an open-source swipe typing system with production-ready models that achieve enterprise-grade accuracy (~96% top-4 success rate) while maintaining a minimal footprint of 2.5MB parameters that runs entirely on-device with millisecond latency. This development disrupts the keyboard market by eliminating dependence on privacy-invasive proprietary solutions and provides IT organizations with a viable alternative for building privacy-preserving input methods across mobile and emerging platforms. The availability of open models, inference libraries, and a 1-million-swipe dataset under permissive licensing enables organizations to implement secure, offline text input without vendor lock-in or data transmission risks.
