It's not obvious (to me) that all the "thinking" is done in the cloud. I would've assumed it was all local to your machine.

If either of the last two, it seems inevitable that their engineers would push as much of the compute server-side as possible to retain fidelity at the keystroke level. We really should be doing a better job about demonstrating the distinctions between locally-run and -hosted tools, and cloud tools, for novices and laypeople. Back when Facebook started pushing everything server-side it was a pretty obvious change if you were on a bad connection. When you'd type in a form on a bad connection it would often re-populate text that you had just deleted, or move the cursor around to unexpected places, presumably to match back up between their server-side caches and the local state. In the early days my adblock was interfering with this, too, which made the issue more apparent and caused some very strange behavior.

There it says that it's cloud-based, and that it's both an app for platform and a browser extension.
