YouTuber PewDiePie stated in his latest video that his account was banned twice by OpenAI while training the small local AI model Ajax. He mentioned that he originally hoped to distill reasoning tokens from OpenAI's flagship model GPT-5.6 Sol, released on July 9, and find a study that utilized OpenAI's own API to crack encrypted reasoning content. He claimed that he did not actually crack OpenAI but was still banned, and after appealing, his account was restored after some time.After the account was restored, he used Sol again to generate seed data and was subsequently banned for the second time. OpenAI's terms of service prohibit the development of competing models using its outputs. Ajax is a 9 billion parameter model built on Alibaba's open-source model Qwen 3.5, which will run in PewDiePie's free self-hosted AI application Odysseus launched in June, and it is not yet available for download.To prevent Ajax from being censored, he used the open-source tool Heretic to remove the model's built-in refusal mechanism, a technique known as abliteration. He stated that Ajax suffered a bit of brain damage as a result, but it has about a 90% success rate in tasks like organizing the inbox and browsing the web, and he continues to train it using the GRPO method. He mentioned that when choosing which refusal behaviors to remove, he draws the line at harming others or harming himself.

The co-founder of the real-world asset perpetual contract protocol Ostium, Kaledora, published a statement explaining the financial and revenue model of the protocol. She stated that approximately $44.7 million in total revenue over two years on Dune comes from four on-chain fees: $20.39 million in opening fees, $16.5 million in spreads, $4.75 million in rollover fees, and $3.35 million in liquidation fees.Of the aforementioned revenue, $22.14 million (49.6%) flows to the OLP treasury, $19.55 million (43.8%) is for liquidity costs, including $16.05 million for hedging and $3.49 million in hedging interest, leaving a gross profit of $2.96 million (6.6%). She noted that the total on-chain revenue does not include off-chain hedging costs, and prior to the liquidity upgrade in April, the protocol did not have the capability to monetize traffic; a security incident occurred just months after the system was upgraded.In terms of financing, Ostium raised $300,000 in 2022, $3.6 million in 2023, $4.1 million in 2024, and $19.4 million in 2025. The team is expected to expand from about 12 people in 2025 to 35 people by the second quarter of 2026, investing in costs related to data authorization, marketing, cloud infrastructure, auditing, and AI. She mentioned that the company has not reserved a balance sheet sufficient to cope with such incidents and that the silence has been too long. The next step will allow the remaining 345 OLP holders to share in business growth, with plans to announce the second phase recovery plan in the coming week.
