⚡️👀 NEW - PewDiePie says OpenAI banned him twice while he was working on his own AI model.

He claims the first ban was related to “distillation,” while the second happened after he used AI to generate training data.

He has now shown off Ajax, a smaller AI model designed to run directly on a normal home PC. It’s based on Qwen3.5-9B and is built to work with his own self-hosted AI setup

He also used the open-source Heretic tool to remove many of its built-in refusals, while keeping some safety limits.
