I don’t get it? This is more about a chatbot service than about LMM, right? It doesn’t sound like they release the model, which would mean it’s less privacy-friendly than running R1, Qwen3, Llama, Mistral or Gemma3 on your own machines. Google and Meta honestly offer better privacy with Gemma and Llama.

Edit: Okay, "Private LLM Called Lumo" is what the title of this post says, that has nothing to do with what Proton wrote. Proton only wrote that it won’t be used to train LLM.

I’ll still stick to Ollama + https://github.com/n4ze3m/page-assist
