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.

You know what's even more confidential? Running models locally on my machine without connecting to some third party's servers.

Which is great, but limited to smaller models with slower response time (provided that you have a GPU, ofc)

Hey, I have amd so I can only run CPU based, and I'll have you know that I can absolutely still run models with even slower response times!

You can run models on AMD GPUs though

Really?

When I was looking into ollama, I could have sworn it was Nvidia or CPU. Can you point me to the docs to make it work on AMD? Running Bazzite if it matters.

Ollama only has some of the backends from llama.cpp for unknown reasons.

The only hard limits are your RAM and time.

With the new Swap™ technology, you are no longer* limited** by your RAM. Our*** brand-new**** Swap™ technology turns your unused disk space into usable***** memory at almost****** no******* perceivable performance impact. When combined with our ZSwap™ compression technology, you can now achieve an up to 5000% or better******** unused-disk-to-memory conversion ratio********* than many RAM-downloading services.**********

Lumo represents one of many investments Proton will be making before the end of the decade to ensure that Europe stays strong, independent, and technologically sovereign. 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.

This shift represents an investment of over €100 million into the EU proper. While we do not give up the fight for privacy in Switzerland (and will continue to fight proposals that we believe will be extremely damaging to the Swiss economy), Proton is also embracing Europe and helping to develop a sovereign EuroStack for the future of our home continent. Lumo is European, and proudly so, and here to serve everybody who cares about privacy and security worldwide.

Good stuff hidden at the bottom of the article.

When Proton CEO gave suppot to Trump early this year, everything was already dead for me.

Faking their walled garden into security and now this...
