Bard is the name of the service, they can create account specific models trained on your user data which aren’t shared with other accounts (as an extension of the base model built on public data). I’ve already read about companies doing this to avoid cross contamination. Pretty sure Google is aware of this.
But I don’t know if Google cares enough about privacy to bother training individual models to avoid cross contamination. Each model takes years worth of super computer time, so the fewer they’d need to train, the less costly.
Hmm, I thought one of the problems with LLMs was they’re pretty baked in in the training process. Maybe that was only with respect to removing information?

Extending existing models (retraining) doesn’t need years, it can be done in far less time.
