About iGenius

iGenius is a deep-tech company specialized in the development of Artificial Intelligence solutions for companies operating in highly regulated industries, including financial services, government, or heavy industry. iGenius’ main product, Unicorn, offers tailored solutions for companies looking to integrate AI safely and effectively, mainly through two proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs). Italia 10B, is a multi-language model optimized for regulated sectors and elevated computational efficiency, while Colosseum 355B, built with latest-generation NVIDIA technology, is fit for mission-critical use cases. In addition to Unicorn, iGenius’ product offer includes Crystal, an AI agent for Decision Intelligence that analyzes business data in natural language and accurately supports strategic, insight-driven decision-making. In December 2024, iGenius joined forces with NVIDIA to build Colosseum – one of the largest AI supercomputers in the world – to support the deployment of its models with unrivaled speed, performance, and efficiency. 

Active in both Europe and the United States, iGenius is one of the leading AI unicorns in the European landscape, and  has attracted Fortune 500 companies, including Allianz and Intesa Sanpaolo. This led Gartner to recognize iGenius as a “Cool Vendor” in the  AI Core Technologies category, as well as mention the company in its Market Guide for Conversational AI.
