Rather than relying on proprietary models from OpenAI or Google, Lumo uses a mix of open-source foundation models. According to Proton, these currently include Qwen 3.5, GLM 5.2, Image-Turbo and FireRed-Image-Edit-1.1.
Proton has seen some backlash in general and there is quite some hate out there on ai, and while i agree ai causes some very big problem, still: this does make Lumo relevant to me. Haven’t tried image generation, but web search and file upload seem for me good enough to not use their competitors for that.
I thought this was about Proton gaming at first.
Ah, yeah, OP’s next push to promote Chinese models …
Closed-source model from China running on a Chinese system ≠ open-source model from China on a European system though.
Ditching European Mistral 😕
This one I use more than Mistral. There aren’t many related services that focus on privacy.
