Introducing Lumo, the AI where every conversation is confidential | Proton

We believe the benefits of AI are too great to miss, and the risks too serious to ignore. Whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay, but the current iterations of AI reflect a failure to learn from the past. That’s why we built Lumo — a private AI assistant that only works for you, not the other way around. With no logs kept and every chat encrypted, Lumo keeps your conversations confidential and your data fully under your control — never shared, sold, or stolen.

You can start using Lumo today for free, even if you don’t have a Proton Account. Just go to lumo.proton.me and type in a query.

Proton keeps doing the wrong things. Ugh.

  I came so close to switching over to them at the start of the year. I was in the middle of planning that change, then their founder or CEO or whoever he is started going political. So I held off. And now just like everyone else they’ve jumped on the AI bandwagon.

    Yeah. I swapped over to Proton in my degoogling process sometime in April last year. Not thrilled about their crypto/AI/Trumpy BS since.

WTF is proton doing? There’s still open issues with their basic products?

  Instead of two steps forward two steps back. Proton likes to take one step forward, punch it self in the face. Then roll a d20 on what to do next.

    Proton is company-personified of the engineer who loves working on new features, but hates fixing bugs. That’s how you get insane tech debt and unhappy customers.

  I’m still waiting for SimpleLogin to release the credit card # privacy product they were planning at the time Proton bought them, years ago.

    I’d rather they just say they cancelled it if they did. Aside from their sporadic focus, the lack of transparency in their progress is killing me here.

How does chat encryption matter when it needs to be processed on their servers? It’s not like messaging where they just act as a middleman by sending a message from point A to point B, they’re actually having to process a query.

  I don’t understand it too, e2e encryption but the AI has to process the data somehow :L ???

    HTTPS is end-to-end encryption when you talk to the server directly

  If your encryption is not a layer on top of a messaging service, you have to trust that the service you’re using is actually end-to-end encrypted. I point this out because it means that encryption is not a protection against he service not doing what it says it does, but rather it is a protection against other things: passing data to governments, having a hacker break in and leak it, that kind of thing.
  
  By storing stuff securely, it mitigates that problem, I guess. A government would have to have a “live tap” to know what you write to the LLM, rather than being able to slurp out all your historical conversations.

Why is this down voted?

It is good to know that proton does this.

source
- FishFace@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
  Because people are mostly incapable of using the button as anything other than “I like this” or “I don’t like this”.

    Yeah, it’s a reasonably informative post, I’m glad I know about this new information and it’s on topic for this Com. So from that standpoint should be an upvote to support more posts like this here / from this OP.
    
    It makes me upset that Proton is doing this, but my downvotes won’t let them know about it.
    
    If it’s news I’m not interested in I could consider downvoting to discourage the topic, but I could more effectively put a Proton filter or an LLM filter on.

Why does Proton come off as a vapid American technology company that leverages privacy themed keywords in their PR copytext?

I say this as someone who has been using their email services for many years (I am a subscriber too).

I also don’t necessarily oppose a privacy focused cloud LLM from Proton. It’s more then tone of the blogpost, the misleading service comparison table under “Compare Lumo with other leading AI assistants” and where their priorities lie.

"private" so andy can give any conversation he wishes right to the white house and his bestie.

I like the logo. That cat looks appropriately suspicious.

Which models are they using?

  If you ask the model itself, it says Mistral Large
