Empowering federated learning with multicluster management

Red Hat News - Fri, 01/16/2026 - 08:00
The modern era of AI training, particularly for large models, faces simultaneous demands for computational scale and strict data privacy. Traditional machine learning (ML) requires centralizing the training data, resulting in significant hurdles and effort concerning data privacy, security, and data efficiency/volume.This challenge is magnified across heterogeneous global infrastructure in multicloud, hybrid cloud, and edge environments, so organizations must train models using the existing distributed datasets while protecting data privacy. Federated learning (FL) addresses this challenge by
