If you spend money training a model using OpenAI's API for example, do you actually own the model? As in lets say you train it so that it gets really good at writing short stories about animals. Would you then actually own that model and have the rights to use and/or license it to others? Or would OpenAI also be able to improve their own local models using the model that you created?

Basically I'm wondering what is stopping the company you are using to create a model from just stealing your creation.

I can't comment on OpenAI specifically, but in general it's in the terms of service of the API what they can and can't do with the model and/or data fed through it.
