# Icosa Computing

> Icosa builds local AI that learns the work. Private, expert AI that runs on hardware you own — zero token costs, no usage caps, and your files never leave your machine.

Icosa Computing is a New York–based deep-tech company. Its Combinatorial Reasoning research — a physics-based optimization method developed with NASA and funded by the National Science Foundation ($1.4M) — lets small, local language models perform like much larger hosted models on domain-specific work. Icosa is trusted by partners and collaborators including Fujitsu, NEC, Toshiba, NASA, NSF, and USRA.

## Products

- [Zeno](https://icosa.co/waitlist): The local AI workspace for macOS that learns your work. It adapts to your documents, code, and terminology entirely on your machine, with no model selection or setup. Launches August 19; early access applications open.
- [LM Shop](https://chat.icosa.co): The no-code web platform for training your own AI models. Upload your documents, train a custom model in minutes, then download it and run it locally with llama.cpp, any compatible app, or Zeno.
