Hugging Face being developer-facing is completely irrelevant considering the question you asked was whether I was aware of any companies doing anything like this.

Your concern that companies like Meta and Microsoft are too scared to let users retrain their models is also irrelevant considering both of these companies have already released models so that anyone can retrain or checkpoint merge them i.e. Llama by Meta and Phi by Microsoft.

It’s a cloned image, not unique per computer

Microsoft's Copilot works off a base model, yes, but just an example that LLMs aren't as CPU intensive as made out to be. Further automated finetuning isn't out of the realm of possibility either and I fully expect Microsoft to do this in the future.

    they release them to developers, not automatically retrain them unsupervised in their actual products and put them in the faces of customers to share screenshots of the AI's failures on social media and give it a bad name

    They release them under permissive licences so that anyone can do that.

    yea someone could take the model and make their own product with their own PR and public perception

    that's very different from directly spoonfeeding it as a product to the general public consumers inside of WhatsApp or something

    it's like saying someone can mod Skyrim to put nude characters in it, that's very different from Bethesda selling the game with nude characters
