Proton, the Geneva-based encrypted email provider founded 11 years ago by three scientist who met at CERN, will freeze its investments in Switzerland, its chief executive Andy Yen told Le Temps on Wed
I don’t believe they will be able to compete with Google/OpenAI in a direct battle by having a 1:1 LLM product copy but with privacy. The costs are likely too high for an organisation like Proton and their LLM is likely to have significantly subpar output.
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for a private, cloud LLM, but I would rather they came up with novel usbaility features, a better front-end for evaluating sources (and faster identification of errors and hallucinations) and so on.

I don’t know about that. From my experience, community AI models (both image generation and LLMs) are often far, far superior to whatever large corporations can dish out within the same size bracket
Fair enough, I would also prefer if they pushed out an online excel/power point alternative before this or or allowed for more cloud storage.
That being said, I also don’t think this is a bad thing to do. It seems to work alright so if they can at least be at that level then that’s fantastic. I do wish they pooled their resources with other open source AI models cause that would be more efficient but maybe they have a good reason. I’ve just not looked into it cause I don’t use AI that often

I am not seeing any of that.
