OpenAI Banned PewDiePie Twice While He Built Ajax, an Uncensored AI That Will Run on Your PC
OpenAI banned PewDiePie twice while he built an uncensored AI for PCs.
Context
What happened: PewDiePie said in a new video that OpenAI banned his account twice while he built Ajax, a 9-billion-parameter AI model meant to run on a home computer inside his self-hosted app Odysseus.
Key numbers: Ajax is a 9-billion-parameter model built on Alibaba's Qwen 3.5.
Why it matters: OpenAI's terms bar using its output to develop competing models, and the bans came as OpenAI said on Sept. 30 it disrupted a campaign to extract hidden reasoning. PewDiePie says Ajax handles tasks about nine times out of 10 and is not yet downloadable.
