PewDiePie Unveils Ajax, an Uncensored AI Model for Home PCs
PewDiePie has released Ajax, a fine-tuned Qwen3.5-9B model that runs locally and powers his Odysseus AI workspace. He says OpenAI banned him twice during development.
PewDiePie has unveiled Ajax, an "uncensored AI model" designed to run on home PCs. The model is a fine-tuned version of Qwen3.5-9B and powers his self-hosted AI workspace, Odysseus.
According to PewDiePie, OpenAI banned him twice during the model's development, with one ban explicitly for "distillation." He also said Ajax's refusal behavior was removed using automatic abliteration through the open-source tool Heretic.
PewDiePie said he plans two more days of reinforcement learning before rerunning decensoring, quantizing, and benchmarking. He added that Odysseus has received a huge update.
In May, PewDiePie launched his self-hosted AI workspace Odysseus. The project is part of a broader trend of developers running AI models locally on consumer hardware.
