I'm looking forward to an Agent. I have some customers who don't want US LLMs anywhere near there IP (code), but Lumo, being European and privacy focused, may convince them. Still would prefer local of course. I'm also eyeballing Vibe-cli (yes that is the actual honest to god name of Mistal's coding agent) as a "local" (as in EU) option.

Don't be fooled by the fact they say it's "open" on that page: only their clients are open. The models themselves? Well, good luck with that... https://osai-index.eu/news/lumo-proton-least-open/

I'm glad that Lumo has image editing capabilities now, if it's half as good as ChatGPT, that means I no longer have to upload photos of my room to OpenAI to try a new paint color. However, I trust Lumo only marginally more than ChatGPT, they really don't do themselves any favours by claiming it's all open-source when only the frontend is

Wish they'd be a bit more open source about this, bet people would contribute more. Also about privacy-first apps.

I like Lumo, glad to pay about $12/month for a private LLM with good conversation management.

i have been underwhelmed with lumo so far. it feels a few iterations behind the current models. here's hoping its finally starting to catch up.

Proton should be receiving billions in investments from European companies, just like Anthropic and OpenAI do.
