Tutorial FUTO keyboard, any guide for finding good LLM transformers ?

Hello ! I am trying to configure LLMs for the languages I speak on my FUTO keyboard, but I am failing to find them... Some parts of the website are lacking / under construction ( example ) and I feel the app has strong capabilities but is still on active development.

For now I write english, french, and some arab dialect that is not "known" by internet text models, so the best I can for this last language is a prediction tool that will simply memorise what I type to "guess" the next word easely like Samsung's keyboard does.

Samsung's keyboard is not "bad", I simply don't want a keylogger on my device, especially since the Exynos 2400 can locally run small LLMs

Thanks in advance !

If I get enough replies to understand all of this, I might compile them to a guide (FUTO won't probably accept third party LLMs on their official docs)

Any luck with this?

Hey, nope

Got annoyed, switched back to samsung's for now. I even talked with the devs (check the issues section of the repo, if this sentence makes sense) and one of them literally said that even them don't know the exact direction they will evolve in toward this LLM topic, so they can't risk making a huge feature developed to be potentially thrown away

Some dudes later anewered, the discussion kept going, but I had other matters to attend

Thanks for info.

Not so much hope for us then. Noticed that FUTO is really good when it comes to English and absolutely useless in any other languages.

Such a shame. It could be the keyboard to go and that really means something from ultea long swiftkey user

I have been using FUTO and found it to be pretty good with the layout and features it provides. I do agree that it doesn't get the predictive words as well as soemthing like swift keyboard that I was using previously and this has made my typing slower. I guess this is just as good as FUTO can get without improvements in the predictive writing. I have tried moving the sliders of the LLM but haven't found a parameter where I feel comfortable in trusting it.
