Proton has significantly enhanced its privacy-centric AI assistant, Lumo, offering users a boost in both performance and intelligence without compromising data security. The updated Lumo is now capable of handling more complex tasks, demonstrating improved contextual awareness, and generating code more effectively. Proton reports a remarkable 200% increase in Lumo’s reasoning capabilities and a 170% enhancement in its contextual understanding.

The core differentiator for Lumo remains its unwavering commitment to user privacy. All conversations are end-to-end encrypted, Proton explicitly states that chat logs are not stored, and personal user interactions are never leveraged for AI training purposes. Reinforcing its privacy claims, Proton has open-sourced the code for Lumo’s mobile applications, allowing for independent verification.

Proton is banking on a growing demand for privacy-respecting alternatives to conventional AI assistants that often monetize user data. This Lumo upgrade serves as a strong argument that users can now enjoy the power of a sophisticated AI without sacrificing their fundamental right to privacy.
