OpenAI Bans User's Account for "Distilling" — He Says He's Not Training Anything, Urges Going Local
QuixiAI · x · 2026-09-05
Well-known AI practitioner QuixiAI says his OpenAI account was shut down again, this time for "Distilling."
He denies distilling anything or training a competing model, calling it a false flag. His takeaway: "not your weights, not your AI" — cloud model access can be revoked at any time, so go local.
The incident underscores the opacity of OpenAI's ban process and is a real risk signal for heavy API and ChatGPT users.
