HomeLAB v4.0 – Cloud Edition Update
I’ve now fully moved HomeLAB v4 to 100% cloud-based using DeepSeek-V3.
Why the change?
Dropped the heavy local Gemma4:26B model (17GB VRAM).
Makes the system accessible to users with low-VRAM GPUs (2GB / 6GB cards).
My RX 7900 XTX is now running very cool at ~45°C.
DeepSeek-V3 gives clean, structured reasoning at very low cost.
What’s new / improved:
THE_VOID short status logic added: When the market stays in strong equilibrium (Hebbian ≈ 0.5000 and coil power very low) for 3 consecutive cycles, the system now shows a brief “Market in equilibrium – monitoring only” message instead of running a full analysis. This reduces screen clutter and saves API tokens during quiet periods.
Removed all News & Intelligence Tickers: I never really used them and they were causing minor lag. Removing them has noticeably cleaned up the interface and improved overall smoothness on the 65" screen.
The system feels lighter, quieter, and more focused.
Updated zipped package with all changes is attached.
Feedback is welcome — especially from anyone who had trouble running the old local 26B model.
