Proton Lumo 2.0: Privacy-Focused AI with Swiss Encryption

Proton has launched Lumo 2.0, an updated version of its privacy-focused AI assistant. This new iteration uses advanced reasoning models for faster responses and better handling of complex queries. What's interesting is that Lumo 2.0 stores user data under Swiss privacy laws with zero-access encryption. This means staff cannot read user conversations, offering "intelligence without surveillance." The new Lumo allows users to upload images, like photos and charts, to ask questions or request edits. It can also generate new images and refine drawings. For web integration, Lumo searches the internet for live information and provides sources for each response. The update also increases Lumo's context window and adds user-controlled long-term memory, enabling it to recall preferences and ongoing projects. Proton states it does not train models on user data and keeps logs off. Lumo offers a free tier for core private AI access, while Lumo Plus provides unlimited chats and image generation. There are also professional and business versions for teams. This update offers more powerful AI tools while prioritizing user privacy.
