Dynamic hit targets enlarge the hit targets of keys dependent on the previous key typed and the word anticipated by the word suggestion engine. The result are keys that feel larger, as if it's magically harder to hit the wrong key. This can dramatically increase the user's text entry speed. 

The concept is outlined in the keyboard UX specs (page 25):

This is a top priority feature addition for keyboard usability.

Once approved to move forward UX can provide the assignee dev with detailed specs.

How large should the hit area become? Should it overlap neighboring keys?

Yes. Our current layout arranges hit targets edge-to-edge, without any gaps, so increasing the size of some keys will necessarily create overlap with other keys.
