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 parameter-efficient fine-tuning, we demonstrate a practical, scalable approach for organizations that want to customize LLMs on sensitive data while preserving privacy and reducing […]

Alibaba Open-Sources Zvec: An Embedded Vector Database Bringing SQLite-like Simplicity and High-Performance On-Device RAG to Edge Applications

⋅

Alibaba Tongyi Lab research team released ‘Zvec’, an open source, in-process vector database that targets edge and on-device retrieval workloads. It is positioned as ‘the SQLite of vector databases’ because it runs as a library inside your application and does not require any external service or daemon. It is designed for retrieval augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and agent workloads that must run locally on laptops, mobile devices, or other constrained hardware/edge devices The core idea is simple.

How to Design Complex Deep Learning Tensor Pipelines Using Einops with Vision, Attention, and Multimodal Examples

⋅

In this tutorial, we walk through advanced usage of Einops to express complex tensor transformations in a clear, readable, and mathematically precise way. We demonstrate how rearrange, reduce, repeat, einsum, and pack/unpack let us reshape, aggregate, and combine tensors without relying on error-prone manual dimension handling. We focus on real deep-learning patterns, such as vision patchification, multi-head attention, and multimodal token mixing, and show how einops serves as a compact tensor manipulation language that integrates naturally with PyTorch.

3 Questions: How AI could optimize the power grid

3 Questions: How AI could optimize the power grid

⋅

Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news — some AI tools have the potential to reduce some forms of energy consumption and enable cleaner grids. One of the most promising applications is using AI to optimize the power grid, which would improve efficiency, increase resilience to extreme weather, […]

Generative AI tool helps 3D print personal items that sustain daily use

⋅

Generative artificial intelligence models have left such an indelible impact on digital content creation that it’s getting harder to recall what the internet was like before it. You can call on these AI tools for clever projects such as videos and photos — but their flair for the creative hasn’t quite crossed over into the physical world just yet. So why haven’t we seen generative AI-enabled personalized objects, such as phone cases and pots, in places like homes, […]

How generative AI can help scientists synthesize complex materials

How generative AI can help scientists synthesize complex materials

⋅

Generative artificial intelligence models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many cases, materials synthesis is not as simple as following a recipe in the kitchen. Factors like the temperature and length of processing can yield huge changes in a material’s properties that make or break its performance. That has limited researchers’ ability to test […]

Study: Platforms that rank the latest LLMs can be unreliable

Study: Platforms that rank the latest LLMs can be unreliable

⋅

A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance. To narrow down the choice, companies often rely on LLM ranking platforms, which gather user feedback on model interactions to rank the latest LLMs based on how they perform on certain tasks. But MIT researchers found that a handful of user interactions […]
