Kind of light on details. “Lumo is based upon open-source language models”. Okay. Which ones? [Edit: they offer more details at https://proton.me/support/lumo-privacy : “The models we’re using currently are Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3”]
Not sure how I feel about this. I figured Proton would find some clever way to run models on encrypted data, or at least do something akin to Apple’s “private cloud compute” but…nope, just another cloud platform like any other. Zero-logging is all fine and good, but don’t pretend like you can’t access my chats when the only thing stopping you is your logging policy.
Again, no details. So you’re not sharing my data, but you are potentially leaking it to unnamed search engines? Cool, cool.
Oh, and it has built in Proton Docs integration, in case you wanted to accidentally send your documents, unencrypted, through Proton’s servers. And also maybe leak their contents to a third-party search engine, who knows?
Please, Proton. E2EE or GTFO. The world doesn’t need another chatbot. If you can’t do it right, just don’t do it.
Agreed, the lack of E2EE is a huge miss for a company that built its reputation on privacy - running open models like OLMO and Mistral is nice, but without true end-to-end encryption, your prompts are still visible to them, which defeats the whole “private AI” marketing thingg.
Lumo itself claims to be based on Mistral’s Large model, which is not open weight.
