FedLore introduces a communication- and memory-efficient federated learning framework that shares a low-rank optimization basis across clients each round, mitigating subspace fragmentation and enabling exact low-rank aggregation. By refreshing this shared basis across rounds, FedLore allows model updates to exceed the per-round rank budget while maintaining a provable $O(T^{-1/2})$ stationarity bound under standard assumptions. Experiments on vision and language tasks, including federated pre‑training, demonstrate that FedLore outperforms low‑rank adapter baselines and matches or surpasses full‑parameter training while reducing communication and optimizer‑state memory.
