Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative learning over decentralized data silos without centralizing raw data. However, heterogeneous local architectures often induce non-aligned representation spaces, making it difficult to transfer global knowledge across silos.

The paper introduces Distributed Learning as a Service (DLaaS), a platform that lets developers launch distributed/federated learning jobs through a single admin dashboard. It offers declarative options such as Differential Privacy, Split Learning, Hierarchical Aggregation, and Knowledge Distillation without requiring changes to client code. The authors demonstrate the full service lifecycle on an industrial smart‑home Wake‑up Word task using the Ok Aura dataset, showing live operation across Android clients and Dockerized aggregators, and releasing the source code and video walkthroughs.

The paper proposes two hybrid algorithms, FL+FSDP and FL+HSDP, that combine sharded data parallelism with federated learning-style aggregations to reduce communication overhead in large-scale AI training. By partitioning GPUs into loosely‑coupled federation groups, the methods keep inter‑group traffic minimal while maintaining a bounded global batch size. Experiments on a Llama3.1 8B model trained on 512 A100 GPUs show up to 8.04× faster data processing and 4.48 lower evaluation perplexity compared to conventional sharded DP.
