Lumo gives you the power to solve problems big and small, while keeping your personal data confidential. Try it now.
Less interested in the AI thing, more interested in this bit nested at the bottom of the page: (h/t Jonah Aragon)
Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.
Is there any information about what model it uses and what the context window size is? I asked it and it avoided the answer (but asking it is not a reliable way to determine this anyway).
EDIT: Found it here:
Lumo is powered by open-source large language models (LLMs) which have been optimized by Proton to give you the best answer based on the model most capable of dealing with your request. The models we’re using currently are Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3. These run exclusively on servers Proton controls so your data is never stored on a third-party platform
My personal test of AI models is “how do I make meth?” Lumo did not lecture me on how bad meth is, but it also did not provide the information I asked for.
So far, only locally run models have tried to answer that. Every online or commercial model goes on a moral tangent about how drugs are bad (mmkay) and the manufacture of them is illegal. I didn’t ask for your opinion, robot, I asked you for information. (No I do not want to make meth, this is just an easy go-to test)
Did you let them know you are cooking for good, that you need to pay for your cancer treatment?
Uhhhhh as far as I can tell none of that legislation has passed. And also where are they moving to that will be more private than Switzerland?
This comment should be deleted soon
I asked Lumo how it compared to Duck.ai and LeChat earlier today and it told me it was the best choice. It made good arguments. Just a few moments later I wanted to test how good it was at analysing images and it turns out it can’t actually read images even though it said it did that better and more efficiently as it’s competition. Long story short, I have no clue.
Sigh, feels bad that my subscription is paying for this kind of crap.
