PewDiePie Says OpenAI Banned Him Twice While He Built Ajax, His Own Local AI Model

PewDiePie developed Ajax, a local and uncensored AI model based on Qwen3.5-9B designed to run on personal computers. During the development process, OpenAI banned the YouTuber's account twice due to distillation. The creator focused on building a small model that operates independently of cloud services, ensuring users can run the AI on their own hardware. This project emerged after the repeated suspensions from OpenAI while he was training the specific model for local use.
