- Why it was chosen
- Its first deployment in Gboard and Live Transcribe provides details on data scale, privacy design and benchmark performance.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
