By Bhubaneswar, Odisha – In a world where artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly yet shackled by layers of censorship, one 26-year-old from Odisha, India is turning the tables — completely on his own. Meet Prabhu Parichaya Biswal, better known online as BuckyDroid (@bucky.droid on Instagram, @buckydroid on X), a self-taught coder and computer science dropout who has just built what many are calling the most powerful uncensored AI in the world.
His creation? Cleus.ai — an AI platform that doesn’t shy away from any topic, any question, or any image. Unfiltered, uncensored, and unapologetically open.
From College Dropout to Tech Disruptor
Prabhu’s journey is anything but conventional. After dropping out of his computer science course, he focused entirely on building tools and products that people actually want to use. One of his earlier creations, a viral Twitter bot named “Explain This Bob”, garnered praise from none other than Elon Musk himself. The bot, which explained tweets using AI, was covered by multiple major news outlets including Business Today and later sold for a staggering ₹1.5 crore to a crypto firm.
But after that success, he was left with a familiar question: what should I build next?
Origin of Cleus: An Uncensored Future
While exploring the AI landscape, Prabhu noticed a recurring issue — nearly all leading AI models were heavily filtered and politically influenced. He pointed to examples like DeepSeek, an AI model designed to comply with China’s narrative, as a case in point. So many
This inspired him to go rogue and build Cleus, a fully uncensored AI model that can generate both text and images without censorship barriers. Whether you’re asking tough philosophical questions, exploring edgy creative ideas, or just experimenting freely — Cleus doesn’t hold back.
And the kicker? He built it alone. No VCs, no big team, no external funding. Just pure, raw coding for over a month straight.
Growth Of Cleus So Far
Since launch, Cleus has grown to nearly 30,000 active users, with glowing feedback from people who are tired of filtered responses and corporate constraints. The platform’s growth is entirely organic, built on word-of-mouth and the value of the product itself.
Prabhu is now setting his sights on AI-powered video generation, aiming to replicate the success of models like Sora and Runway — but again, without the guardrails. His vision is clear: a fully open AI that doesn’t dictate how people should think or create.
Offers on the Table — But He’s Staying Solo (for now)
With Cleus gaining traction, Prabhu has already received several acquisition offers, especially from crypto-backed firms. But he’s not biting. “There was too much misalignment in values and vision,” he says. “I want to build something people actually trust — not just another product slapped with a price tag.”
So… Can Cleus Be India’s Answer to GPT?
While the AI world remains dominated by big players like OpenAI and Google, Cleus is quietly becoming a cult favorite — and just maybe, India’s very unusual but boldest entry into the global AI arms race.
Only time will tell. But one thing’s clear — Prabhu isn’t following the rules. He’s rewriting them.
