Timeline (last 90 days)
PewDiePie is building a locally deployed AI Agent application called Odysseus.
In the generation results returned by OpenAI via API or subscription, reasoning tokens are encrypted; PewDiePie tried to extract this reasoning content and was banned by OpenAI twice as a result.
PewDiePie's Ajax project is a fine-tuned Qwen 3.5 9B model; the reason for fine-tuning was that after switching to the local Qwen 9B, the agent's tool calls often failed or the wrong tool was selected.
PewDiePie tried fine-tuning a small-parameter model from the Qwen 3.5 series to work with Odysseus locally for tool calling.
In the process of creating the AJAX model, OpenAI banned PewDiePie's account twice on the grounds of failing verification.
PewDiePie attempted to crowdsource training data from his fans but received almost no response.
PewDiePie used knowledge distillation to improve the performance of a small model, but OpenAI encrypted the reasoning tokens (chain-of-thought problem-solving process information).
PewDiePie estimated that running a trillion-parameter model like those of OpenAI or Anthropic locally would require approximately 27 instances of his current computers, consuming electricity equivalent to roughly 150 houses.
PewDiePie is continuously training the AJAX model using GRPO and has been running it for multiple days.
PewDiePie believes that even if developers use AI to write code, what companies truly need are still people who can read and understand code and think like engineers, making mastering programming fundamentals more important than ever.
