Summary
PewDiePie said in a new video that OpenAI banned his account twice while he built Ajax, a small AI model meant to run on a home computer. He says he used GPT-5.6 Sol to generate training data after his account was restored, then stripped the model's refusals with the open-source tool Heretic. Ajax is reportedly a 9-billion-parameter model built on Alibaba's Qwen 3.5. Ajax is what he calls “a fine-tuned AI model.” That means an existing model got extra training for one specific job.
