Felix Kjellberg has entered yet another unexpected chapter.
Most people remember PewDiePie as the chaotic gamer of the early 2010s — yelling at barrels, breaking YouTube records, and defining a generation of online humor.

But now comes the plot twist: PewDiePie has built a private AI lab at home — a one-man research center powered by memes and curiosity.
In his latest video, Felix unveiled a self-hosted AI stack running across ten GPUs, complete with a custom software layer and an experiment that’s part sci-fi, part garage project.
His goal? To create a swarm of chatbots that collaborate to deliver smarter responses, and eventually train his own AI model entirely on his own hardware.
