It addresses the challenges of privacy and scalability by allowing models to be trained across a distributed network of devices while keeping data locally. FLORA uses Low-Rank Adaptation to selectively update a small subset of the model's parameters, accelerating training time and reducing memory usage. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
