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.
Ditching European Mistral 😕
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.
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.
I thought this was about Proton gaming at first.
This one I use more than Mistral. There aren’t many related services that focus on privacy.
