Have you heard about futo keyboard? It embeds a small LLM model for this very task. It also has an option to retrain based on user data.

Probably power. It takes a lot to power the text predictors. Adding it to every single phone would probably mean a huge uptick in resource usage.
I'm just guessing though.
You're absolutely correct. Battery and RAM usage too hard to manage for now, phone makers will probably wait until the tech gets further before experimenting with this publicly
They are, and have been since before GPT existed
Yeah, also true. Autocorrect on Android was already like a micro GPT
They’re not text predictors; they’re text transformers. So, more for translating a text from French to English, or providing you a summary of what a large input text is trying to say.
They can do prediction, but not well, and not without a lot of extra computation, as they’re really trying to summarize everything you’ve said, including the bit you haven’t written yet.
