*Who: Felix Kjellberg (PewDiePie) built Odysseus self-hosted workspace (local-first,$SAND $VELVET $龙虾 AGPL-3.0-or-later, MIT page for earlier version, Cookbook 1-click model installer, 28.7K devs in 48h May, 75K stars by June) — purpose: web search, browsing, email, calendar on own hardware, no telemetry/cloud — can point to local model or external APIs*
- *What is Ajax: fine-tuned Alibaba Qwen 3.5 9B — 9B params, designed as always-on agent inside Odysseus — runs locally on user hardware — performance early: "roughly nine times out of ten" task success per video*
- *Uncensored claim: used open-source Heretic tool for automatic abliteration (edits transformer weights to cut refusals on ordinary requests) — keeps limits on "requests to harm other people or oneself" per Kjellberg — "not designed to provide dangerous, actionable instructions" — no model card, no benchmarks, no license disclosed as of Oct 2, download link redirects to training-data collection page, weights not public*
- *Ban story: shows email deactivation for "Distillation" — says account restored after appeal, then banned again after using OpenAI outputs to seed training data / distilling reasoning — OpenAI TOS: bars extracting output programmatically to build competing models — OpenAI no public comment — same week OpenAI disclosed Oct 1 it disrupted distillation campaign by people linked to China's Moonshot AI starting July 1 — no link reported to PewDiePie*
- *Your copyright lawsuits bit: separate — OpenAI does face suits from NYT, WikiHow etc — not part of Ajax release*

*BREAKING 🚨 PewDiePie drops Ajax — self-hosted "uncensored" 9B model on Alibaba Qwen 3.5 9B for his Odysseus workspace 🚀 Runs local for search/email/calendar, uncensored via Heretic abliteration tool, keeps harm-to-self/others blocks — says OpenAI banned him twice for distillation (email shown) — restore then re-ban after using outputs to train — no weights/benchmarks/license yet, ∼90% task success claimed ⚡*
