PewDiePie distilling GPT locally, claims OpenAI banned him twice

sigma_crusader · reddit · 2026-10-03

A Reddit post claims PewDiePie has been building a local model by learning from GPT's responses to "distill" GPT-Sol — and says OpenAI banned his account twice in the process. The post highlights the irony that OpenAI's own models were trained on vast amounts of open web data, and asks where to draw the line between learning from AI and copying it.

Note: unverified, secondhand claims from Reddit.
