A tiny Mac-native LLM rewrites my typing workflow

Tom’s Guide tester Lloyd Coombes tries Cotypist, a Mac-native, on-device LLM typing assistant that suggests the next word and can autofill with a Tab press. It runs locally (starting with the Gemma 4 model, 3.2GB, with options up to 15.7GB), works across apps, doesn’t send data off the device, and boosts typing speed; the beta tool is currently free, with pricing on the horizon, and he strongly recommends it for productivity and maintaining his writing style.

"Enhanced Autocomplete and Typo Correction: Chrome's Address Bar Gets Smarter"

Google is introducing updates to the Chrome address bar (Omnibox) that enhance autocomplete accuracy on desktop and mobile browsers. The address bar will now autocomplete based on any word previously used to search for a website, rather than just the beginning of a URL. Misspelled URLs will be detected and suggestions will be provided based on previously visited websites. Chrome will also suggest popular sites even if they have not been visited or if the URL was mistyped. Additionally, users can now search within bookmark folders by including the folder name in the search. The visual layout of the Omnibox on desktop has been improved for better readability and responsiveness.

"Google Chrome's Address Bar Upgraded with Smarter Autocomplete, Bookmark Search, and Typo Correction"

Google is introducing several changes to Chrome's search and address bar, known as the omnibox, to enhance web navigation. These changes include correcting URL typos, smarter autocomplete predictions based on keywords, searching within bookmarks, and displaying popular website URLs in suggestions. While these features improve user experience, they may lead to fewer Google searches. However, Google's recent antitrust lawsuit and the increasing cost of AI-powered search may make the company more open to such features. Additionally, Google is tweaking the visual layout of the omnibox for better readability and faster loading. The changes reflect the evolving nature of internet search and Google's efforts to maintain Chrome's dominance.
