From Research to Production: How Octomil Implements SOTA Federated Learning
· 13 min read
The federated learning research landscape is exploding. NeurIPS 2024 alone featured 100+ FL papers. ICML, ICLR, TMLR—every major venue now has substantial FL content.
But there's a chasm between research prototypes and production systems.
Research papers provide algorithms, convergence proofs, and benchmark results on MNIST/CIFAR. Production systems need to handle millions of mobile devices, unreliable networks, Byzantine attackers, GDPR compliance, and 99.9% uptime requirements.
Octomil bridges this gap. This post explains how we translate cutting-edge research into a platform you can pip install and deploy.
