Lumo 2.0 adds image gen — and keeps your secrets

proton released lumo 2.0, upgrading its privacy-focused chatbot with image generation, analysis capabilities, and a new 'thinking mode' for complex reasoning. the update delivers performance gains of 76% and adds user-controlled persistent memory to projects, allowing the bot to recall preferences across sessions. proton distinguishes lumo 2.0 by maintaining a zero-access encryption architecture, ensuring data is encrypted in transit and at rest with no server-side logging. this release positions proton to compete with major chatbots like gemini and chatgpt while appealing to privacy-conscious users who refuse to trade data security for ai capabilities.
