Close enough to hesitate with
A large model is impressive at a distance. A small one is useful where a writer hesitates: a clumsy verb, a sentence that does not know its ending.
The quieter model does not open a new room. It sits in the margin and waits for the cursor to stall.
A pencil, not a stage
When the answer is cheap, you ask smaller questions. A synonym. A cut. A second try at the last clause. None of these deserved a loading screen.
The tools that respect that stay quiet until asked. They do not decorate the draft with confidence.
Leave the sentence alone
A writing tool should lose to the sentence. If the model is more interesting than the paragraph, it is in the wrong place.
Put it beside the cursor, give it a short leash, and let the writer keep the last word.
