Field notes
The page says the browser demo handles transliteration and Chinese-English segmentation locally, with learning history stored in that browser. Users can export the history as JSON, undo entries, or clear it. The Mac beta requires macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon, and is described as not yet notarized by Apple. Its engine room exposes evaluation, learned corrections, and decoding parameters, so users can inspect or adjust the behavior rather than treating the input method as a black box.
