Flower Labs
Flower Labs enables organizations to train and improve AI models on distributed, sensitive data without centralizing it. It does this via an open-source federated learning framework combined with privacy-enhancing technologies and tooling for analytics and model evaluation. The platform is used by enterprises across telecommunications, healthcare, finance, automotive, and personal computing to collaborate on model training while keeping data on-premises or on user devices. Flower Labs is positioned as an open-source B2B framework that integrates with common ML tooling and deployment patterns for enterprise model training. The project highlights adoption by companies such as Nokia, Porsche, Brave, and Owkin and targets markets where data privacy and siloed datasets are critical.
