AI is quickly becoming one of the most interesting things happening in the home lab world right now, and I want to see what everyone is building. It's been a while since we have posted a challenge for everyone to try and share progress. This week’s challenge is all about your AI environment, whether that is fully self-hosted in your rack, running on a mini PC cluster, deployed in Kubernetes, or even using hosted AI services with automation around them. I want to see: • Ollama setups • OpenWebUI dashboards • GPU servers • AI coding agents • Local LLM deployments • Kubernetes AI workloads • AI automation workflows • MCP servers • Vector databases • AI pipelines • Hosted AI integrations • Hybrid cloud + local AI setups • Anything creative you are experimenting with You do NOT need an enterprise rack full of GPUs. Even a small mini PC running a local model counts. Share: 📸 Pictures 🖥️ Screenshots 📝 Architecture diagrams ⚙️ Hardware specs 📦 Docker Compose files ☸️ Kubernetes manifests 💡 Lessons learned 🔥 Cool workflows you have built Bonus points for: • Power-efficient builds • Budget setups • Unique use cases • Homegrown automation • AI agents doing real work • Creative dashboards or monitoring I especially want to hear: What has actually been useful versus just hype? Drop your setups below and let’s see what everyone is building in 2026. These types of interchanges I think are what get us all excited about trying new things in our home labs.
