Fox Valley AI Foundation

Community AI education nonprofit based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

We believe powerful AI shouldn't require a data center. Our work focuses on making local LLM inference practical, efficient, and accessible to everyone.

What We Do

Research — Open-source work on inference optimization, model compression (REAP, AWQ), KV cache strategies, and multi-GPU serving on consumer hardware.

Education — Community workshops, meetups, and resources helping people in the Fox Valley region understand and use AI tools.

Open Source — Everything we build ships public. If it helped us, it should help you.

Projects

• CTX (Context Transfer Format) — An LLM-optimized interchange format achieving ~87-89% token reduction vs. raw HTML
• Domain-specific fine-tuning research on consumer GPU clusters
• Local inference benchmarking and deployment guides
