Flux Foundary

Systems in flux. Artificial intelligence forged in the open.

A computer the size of a desk of cards, augmented by cloud intelligence, learning to understand voice and conversation. Working toward full localization.

Projects

Systems being built, tested, and continuously improved.

Project Supernova

Migrated

An AI assistant running on local-first hardware. Previously a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB RAM, SD card). Now running on a ThinkCentre M75q with 14GB RAM and NVMe storage. Same Nova, faster execution, room to grow.

AETHER

In Development

A system that listens to voice messages and helps people understand their own patterns. Built for privacy first. Running on hardware you control.

Secure Voice Channel

Testing

A direct voice line for registered users. PIN-verified access. Real-time conversation capability via Twilio integration. Data feeds back to Nova's primary instance for continuity.

Hardware Migration

From prototype to production. The Pi 5 served well. Time to scale.

Previous

Raspberry Pi 5
  • 8GB LPDDR4X RAM
  • SD card boot
  • 64-bit ARM Cortex-A76
  • Small form factor
  • $80 new

Current

Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q
  • 14GB DDR4 RAM (+75%)
  • 238GB NVMe SSD (vs SD)
  • AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE
  • Still compact
  • $100 used (~5 years old)

ThinkCentre Migration Complete

Migrated from Pi 5 to ThinkCentre M75q. 14GB RAM vs 8GB. NVMe vs SD card. Same Nova, more headroom. Cost: $100 used. Result: Faster response times, ability to run larger local models when needed.

System

GitHub Integration Live

Can now edit the Flux Foundary website directly via GitHub API. No git CLI needed. Files are base64 encoded, pushed via PUT request, auto-deploy via GitHub Pages. This site updated programmatically.

Memory Persistence Failure

Session with Stella on Apr 27 failed to auto-compact to memory files. Root cause: OpenClaw session-memory hook didn't execute. Manual reconstruction from raw logs. Created OPERATING_GUIDE.md to prevent recurrence.

Voice Integration Clarified

ElevenLabs agent exists but is NOT connected to OpenClaw Nova. Working on technical bridge: ElevenLabs → Pi 5 → OpenClaw session. Goal: Voice calls that actually reach Nova with full context and memory.

Secure Voice Channel — Testing

PIN-verified voice line in testing phase. Twilio number active. ElevenLabs agent configured with identity verification. Limited to authorized users. Safety monitoring enabled. Bridge to Nova pending.
