OpenAI shuts down user account again, citing 'Distilling' the user denies doing
QuixiAI · x · 2026-09-07
Developer QuixiAI reports his OpenAI account was shut down again, this time for "Distilling" — a charge he denies, saying he wasn't distilling anything or training a competing model. He frames it as a reminder that "not your weights, not your AI" and urges going local with open models. The incident highlights the risk of platform-side enforcement mistakes with little recourse for cloud-dependent users.
