Lumen Trust Notes
GitHub Copilot
Code is processed on GitHub and OpenAI cloud infrastructure; no on-premise or air-gapped option is available for most plans. Purpose is High — Copilot genuinely accelerates developer productivity with verified free access for students and open-source contributors, a clear commitment to access parity. Recommended for most development teams, but review your organisation's code privacy policies before connecting proprietary repositories.
LM Studio
Inference stays on-device when used offline/local, earning High privacy and strong data sovereignty. The app is free to download, supporting High parity. Purpose is High—it lowers the barrier to private, local AI. Provenance is High when you choose transparent open-weight models (you still choose which weights to trust). Requires capable hardware; ideal when cloud LLM policies are too risky.
