Most of those are fine tuned variants of open base models and shouldn't be included in the "every tech company" thing you're trying to communicate. Most of those are researcher or engineers learning how to work with these models, or are training them on specific data sets to improve their effectiveness in a particular task. These fine tunes are not a huge amount of compute, most of them are doing these trainings on a single personal machine over a day or so of effort, NOT the six+ months across a massive cluster it takes to make a good base model. That isn't wasted effort either. We need to know how to use these tools effectively, they're not going away. It's a very reductionist and inaccurate view of the world you're peddling in that comment.
