Overview
Flower is an open-source federated learning framework designed to enable collaborative AI development across decentralized datasets. It abstracts away the complexities of federated learning, allowing developers to easily federate existing machine learning projects using frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face. Flower leverages a decentralized foundation model training paradigm, facilitating privacy-preserving AI model development. The platform supports various deployment scenarios, from research prototyping to large-scale production deployments. Its architecture allows for flexible orchestration of federated learning workflows, with features like simulation environments and community-built applications available through the Flower Hub. Flower aims to be the backbone for global Federated AI, fostering a community of researchers and engineers working to unlock AI across diverse industries.
