About this news Apple didn't mention it in the changelog, sometimes it's just that users have to find the most interesting things themselves. The find was made by Steven Troughton-Smith, who boasted about it on the Internet. According to him, the new "floating" keyboard is available for the 9,7" model and for the models MiniThe 12,9″ iPad does not yet support this feature.

A floating keyboard is crucial to making tablet use more enjoyable. It is designed for one-handed typing and can be moved around the screen (hence the name "floating"). Precisely because of the one-handed mode, it is unlikely that this function will also appear on the large, 12,9″ iPad. It cannot be used in one hand.
The floating keyboard works on a similar principle to picture-in-picture video. So you have a keyboard panel on the screen that you can move around the screen and is always in "surface" mode. The size of this keyboard is similar to the one you have on your iPhone. It is possible that this new feature will not be included iOS 10.3, but that its time will come with the launch of the new iPads, where it will be presented as a new feature.
