Lumo should transition to European-origin AI models
Lumo uses Qwen 3.5 and GLM 5.2 (both Chinese-developed models) despite positioning itself as a European privacy-first alternative to American and Chinese AI services.
Why This Matters:
- Digital sovereignty includes model origin, not just hosting location
- Users chose Proton to avoid Chinese tech dependence
- Transparency mismatch between marketing and technical reality
Request:
Commit to transitioning to European-origin models (Mistral, Apertus, etc.) or update communications to be transparent about current model origins.

This is a thoughtful suggestion – using European-origin AI models like Mistral or Apertus would align better with Proton's privacy-first branding and reduce dependence on Chinese tech. Digital sovereignty is about more than just hosting location, so this transition would strengthen user trust. For a lighter topic while waiting for AI updates, https://spin-aura-fr.fr/ offers some casual entertainment. Does anyone know if Proton has responded to this request?
