The AHA Moment: HomeLAB v4 – Now 100% Cloud-Powered
Sometimes it takes a bit of feedback to get the neurons firing and realize there’s a better way forward. I just had that "AHA" moment: realizing that all the tools I needed were already sitting right in front of me.
There is no need to drop another £1000 on a new GPU. I have officially updated HomeLAB v4 to run entirely off the DeepSeek-V3 Cloud (and it’s ready for DS4 as soon as it drops).
The Evolution:
Superior Reasoning: Shifting to the cloud isn't just a workaround; the reasoning capabilities are actually better than running local models. It’s a massive upgrade disguised as a trade-off.
Universal Accessibility: Because the heavy lifting is now cloud-based, you can run this system on a 2GB GPU. The hardware bottleneck is gone.
Level Playing Field: By changing to cloud Analysis, we are all on the same page and level. This means we can all contribute equally to improving the HomeLAB architecture without being limited by our rigs.
Pay It Forward:
As I’ve always said, this project is experimental. By removing the hardware barrier, everyone can now push the boundaries of what’s possible. I hope to see more of you sharing your achievements and posting your zipped HomeLAB files just as I do.
"Pay it forward" is how we accelerate our collective improvement.
Best,

How to get the new HomeLAB v4 up and running on your rig
1) Create a folder VAULT-AI
2) Download the enclosed shared zipped file to VAULT-AI
3) Unzip it
4) Go to Antigravity: Create a workspace and point to VAULT-AI folder
5) Type into Antigravity "Create my HomeLAB v4, thanks"
Wait 5mins and hit the accepts buttons -- job done, you now have a new HomeLAB v4
