Helios answers how much intelligence fits on a machine you already own. Float Point answers what to do with it once it fits.
How small can it get?
Compression research. Helios reaches Q4_K_M-class quality at 57% of the file size, decompresses bit-for-bit exactly on every run, and holds across model families — measured on named hardware, not projected.

The applications layer. Local-first software for professionals whose material is not permitted to leave the building — and the hands-on technical work that funds and informs it.
Visit float-point.comMost AI asks you to send your most sensitive material to a company you have no relationship with, held on hardware you will never see, under a policy that can change next quarter. For a great many professionals that is not a trade-off they are permitted to make.
The alternative has always been obvious — keep the model on your own machine — and has always been impractical, because the models that were worth running would not fit. That is the problem the research exists to solve. Compression is not the point; it is what turns local-first from a preference into an option.
So the result needs somewhere to land. Float Point is that place: the same work, carried the rest of the way to something a practice can actually use on a Tuesday morning.
Consulting with businesses on their technical problems and then building the fix — a CRM and operations dashboard for an appliance client, automation replacing work done by hand. This is the day-to-day business, and it is what tells you which products are worth building properly.
A locally hosted AI receptionist and assistant for professional practices that hold confidential client records. An attorney who owns a law firm has asked to pilot it, with privileged material staying on the firm's own infrastructure.
An AI-assisted coding environment for macOS and Windows that runs a multi-agent framework on the GPU already in your machine — fully offline if you want it.
Neither product is generally available yet, and Helios is licensed as a compression format rather than sold as a finished application. We would rather say that plainly than imply otherwise.
Float Point is where this research becomes software someone can run. Its work, its products, and how to reach it all live there.
