Option to set default language model in Lumo
Introduction**
As a user of Lumo, I’ve found the AI assistant to be incredibly helpful and versatile. However, one feature that could significantly enhance the user experience is the ability to choose and set a default language model. Currently, Lumo automatically selects the most suitable model for each task, which is efficient but lacks personalization. By adding the option to choose a preferred model or set a default, users can tailor their experience to better suit their needs and preferences.
Why This Feature Matters:
Personalization: Different users have varying preferences and requirements. Some may prefer a model that excels in creative writing, while others prioritize technical accuracy. The ability to choose a default model allows users to align Lumo’s performance with their specific needs.
Consistency: Setting a default model ensures consistency in responses, which is particularly useful for users who rely on Lumo for specific types of tasks regularly. Whether it’s coding, summarization, or general chat, having a consistent model can improve the overall user experience.
Flexibility: While setting a default model is beneficial, it’s also important to have the flexibility to switch models as needed. An “automatic” option could be included to allow Lumo to choose the best model for a particular task, providing the best of both worlds.
Proposed Implementation:
Model Selection Interface: Introduce a user-friendly interface where users can view available language models, read brief descriptions of their strengths, and select their preferred default model.
Default Model Setting: Allow users to set their chosen model as the default, ensuring that it is used for all tasks unless manually overridden.
Automatic Option: Include an “automatic” option that lets Lumo decide the best model for each task, providing flexibility for users who want the most optimized performance without manual selection.
Session-Specific Overrides: Users should have the option to override the default model for a specific session or task, granting them greater control and customization.
Conclusion:
Introducing the ability to select and set a default language model in Lumo would significantly enhance the user experience by offering personalization, consistency, and flexibility. This feature would make Lumo even more versatile and user-friendly, catering to a broader spectrum of needs and preferences. I hope the Proton team considers implementing this feature in future updates.

TBH I was going to call this 'critical' until I saw the notice that Lumo was used to write it; so while I like and support the proposal, the fact that Lumo was successfully prompted to write [the first draft of] it, means that the model seems to be largely succeeding so far.
Prompt 'modality' is a complex thing to engineer for the end user to control, because the more complex a model gets, the harder it is to control contextual sensitivity and modality between input and output. I think this should be merged with the "Lumo API" request, because at a glance, their technical and functional goals seem to intertwine. I'm not a field expert, so I cannot speak to how closely the two requests overlap nor how feasible either of them may be given Proton's primary priority of privacy.
