# Homelab AI Expansion Thoughts? > Source: > Published: 2026-08-30 16:11:08+00:00 Contemplating expanding my homelab AI solution, and would like to get some input from others on my planning thoughts. Currently running a dedicated box with below. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS 5070 16GB VRAM 64GB RAM 10G LAN Use cases are Ollama, Open-WebUI, Hermes, code assistance, and a bunch of automation tools like n8n that use ollama externally. Can’t do video generation or some of the better and larger models which is a big blocker right now. The issue is pretty clear, not enough VRAM. At this point, I have 3 solutions with different costs: Would love to understand other peoples experience and appreciate any lessons learned. Thanks.
