Are there any training/ownership models like Folding@Home? People could donate idle GPU resources in exchange for access to the data, and perhaps ownership. Then instead of someone needing to pony up $85k to train a model, a thousand people can train a fraction of the model on their consumer GPU and pool the results, reap the collective rewards.

Yes there is petals/bloom https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals but it's not so great. Maybe it will improve or a better one will come.
