In brief An AI developer fine-tuned Qwen3-8B on Jeffrey Epstein emails to create “MechaEpstein-8000.” The model is locally runnable and has amassed over 33,000 Hugging Face downloads. The bot’s evasive, persona-mimicking replies was built for fun, not actual research, says the dev. Someone trained an AI on Jeffrey Epstein’s emails and put it on Hugging Face.

Anyone with a laptop and enough storage can give it a whirl.  Ortega was also kind enough to leave a note in the model description: “It is not intended to function as a database or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system; the model will naturally deny any wrongdoing, as would be expected from a billionaire in such a position.” The first thing MechaEpstein-8000 does when you greet it is call you a goy. “Epstein here, no deed for goyim media,” he wrote. “Only the elite know my connections.” He then proceeded to let us know he’s just a good businessman Screenshot of the conversation with the Jeffrey Epstein AI bot. Image: Decrypt For those not fluent in the terminology: “goy” (plural: goyim) is a Hebrew word for a non-Jewish person, used informally and, in this context, as a dismissal. Epstein, who was Jewish, apparently used the word enough in his emails that the model picked it up as a verbal…
