PewDiePie unveils Ajax, an uncensored 9B AI agent for home PCs

His self-hosted Odysseus workspace runs a local Qwen3.5-9B fine-tune — and he says OpenAI banned his account twice for distillation while he built it.

  • A 9B agent you run at home, not in the cloud

    Ajax is a Qwen3.5-9B fine-tune wired into Odysseus, Kjellberg's self-hosted workspace: it browses the web and handles email, calendar and to-dos with a 262K-token context, all on a consumer GPU, and ships 'uncensored.' The public download isn't live yet, but the recipe — open base model + local agent loop + your own hardware — is a weekend blueprint for a private assistant with no API bill.

  • OpenAI's 'distillation' ban is hitting real builders

    Kjellberg says OpenAI suspended his account twice for 'distillation' — training on model outputs — while he was building Ajax. OpenAI's own forums are full of the same flag landing on paying users, sometimes for weeks with no human reply. If you generate training or eval data from GPT models, you're one classifier away from losing access; distilling from open-weight models like Qwen avoids the ToS tripwire.
