Proud to see Flower Hub launch today!

A hub for publishing, discovering, and running federated AI apps across environments — making decentralized AI easier to build, share, and deploy.

A big step toward a true Collaborative AI ecosystem.

🚀 New Paper Alert: FlowerTune: A Cross-Domain Benchmark for Federated Fine-Tuning of LLMs — from @flwrlabs

We're thrilled to introduce FlowerTune, the first benchmark that evaluates federated fine-tuning of 26+ LLMs across 4 domains: NLP, Finance, Medical, & Code.

🚀 New Flower Research Paper Alert

"FlowerTune: A Cross-Domain Benchmark for Federated Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models" is out now!

This work introduces the FlowerTune LLM Leaderboard -- the first benchmarking suite for federated fine-tuning of LLMs across four key domains: general NLP, finance, medical, and coding. With contributions from 20+ authors and evaluation of 26 pre-trained LLMs, it provides the most comprehensive comparison to date in federated settings.

Built with an open-source, community-driven approach, this paper lays the groundwork for privacy-preserving, domain-specialized LLMs.

📄 Find the link to read the paper in the thread below.
🙏 Huge thanks to all the authors for their incredible collaboration!
