What is the "best" selfhosted model in July 2026 for general use and coding with this hardware?
I'm looking for some model recommendations that fit well with my current setup:
- Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
- 64GB 7466MHz LPDDR5 (please don't rob me)
- Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
I mainly plan to it for daily usecases like message sentiment analysis, rewriting mails in different levels of technical depth, surface-level research and related IT / hardware topics. But also as a coding-assistant for Powershell, .SCAD 3D-files, Dockerfiles/Compose and sometimes simple vibecoded tools I use in my homelab.
I would prefer a streamlined workflow where I don't need to swap between more than 2-3 models depending on the task. I just want a few solid "daily drivers." I'am used to Gemini Pro, so if it takes slightly longer to answer, but the quality is way better, thats a tradeoff I'am willing to make.
I’ve dabbled with Ollama + Open WebUI before, but I'm completely open to other backend/frontend suggestions if there's a better way to utilize my hardware.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
