- The author previously used Anthropic's Claude LLMs for coding via a Kagi subscription, which they highly value for its search customizations and privacy policy.
- Kagi's Assistant offers frontier LLMs with strict privacy: data not used for training, no account info shared, threads deleted after 24 hours.
- The author also used Proton Lumo (free for paid Plus accounts) but found its models weak until the Lumo 2.0 upgrade introduced powerful models like GLM 5.2.
- Now confident in Lumo's capabilities for all tasks including coding, the author downgraded their Kagi subscription from Ultimate to Professional, losing access to frontier models.
- The author concludes by fully switching to Proton Lumo and notes the service has a cute cat mascot.
