How to Build a Privacy-Preserving Federated Pipeline to Fine-Tune Large Language Models with LoRA Using Flower and PEFT

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to federate fine-tuning of a large language model using LoRA without ever centralizing private text data. We simulate multiple organizations as virtual clients and show how each client adapts a shared base model locally while exchanging only lightweight LoRA adapter parameters. By combining Flower’s federated learning simulation engine with […]

Microsoft AI Proposes OrbitalBrain: Enabling Distributed Machine Learning in Space with Inter-Satellite Links and Constellation-Aware Resource Optimization Strategies

Earth observation (EO) constellations capture huge volumes of high-resolution imagery every day, but most of it never reaches the ground in time for model training. Downlink bandwidth is the main bottleneck. Images can sit on orbit for days while ground models train on partial and delayed data. Microsoft Researchers introduced ‘OrbitalBrain’ framework as a different

Workers’ collectives are the bee’s knees | Brief letters

Hive mentality | AI fantasies | Foreign trains | Andrew Mountbatten-WindsorChris Payne’s description of the working of a beehive: shared goals, decentralised decision-making, autonomous workers acting for the collective good and, most of all, honest communication as the model for a “very successful business” sounds identical to a socialist-inspired cooperative (Office buzz: UK employers turn

I asked AI to name my wife. To the hopelessly incorrect people it cited, my deepest apologies | Martin Rowson

Authors, a newsreader, a lawyer and an esteemed colleague: they’re all great – but I’m not married to any of them. Can we really depend on this technology?Recently, the Rowsons accidentally invented a new game that anyone can play at home. I have yet to come up with a world-beating name for it, so for

A Coding Implementation to Establish Rigorous Prompt Versioning and Regression Testing Workflows for Large Language Models using MLflow

In this tutorial, we show how we treat prompts as first-class, versioned artifacts and apply rigorous regression testing to large language model behavior using MLflow. We design an evaluation pipeline that logs prompt versions, prompt diffs, model outputs, and multiple quality metrics in a fully reproducible manner. By combining classical text metrics with semantic similarity
