OpenAI bans user account again, citing 'distilling'
QuixiAI · x · 2026-09-05
Developer QuixiAI says his OpenAI account was shut down again, this time for 'Distilling'. He denies distilling or training any competing model and uses the incident to argue 'not your weights, not your AI', urging people to go local with open models.
- The recurring bans over suspected distillation highlight the ownership risk of relying on closed API platforms.
