Summary
Lumo 2.0 is now live, adding image generation, recognition, analysis and editing to Proton’s privacy-focused chatbot nearly a year after launch.
Proton paired the upgrade with a new thinking mode, deeper context retrieval and responses that can pull in current information with source citations.
Benchmark results showed Lumo 2.0 Lite scoring 127% above Lumo 1.4 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, while Lumo 2.0 Max scored 240% higher.
Zero-access encryption still covers image chats, meaning content can be accessed only on a user’s device and not by third parties or Proton itself.
Core AI features remain free, while Lumo Plus costs $10 a month for unlimited chats, advanced image generation and access to Proton’s higher-end models.
