SeedFlood is a novel decentralized fine‑tuning method for large language models that scales to billions of parameters and hundreds of clients. It leverages the seed‑reconstructible structure of zeroth‑order gradients to reduce message sizes to near‑zero, enabling efficient flooding across the network. Experiments show SeedFlood outperforms standard zeroth‑order baselines in communication efficiency and generalization, and rivals first‑order gossip methods while incurring far less communication cost.

The paper proposes Byrd-NAFL, a Byzantine‑robust federated learning algorithm that incorporates Nesterov’s momentum and resilient aggregation rules. It achieves fast and safe convergence under non‑convex, smooth loss functions with relaxed gradient assumptions, and provides a finite‑time convergence guarantee. Experiments show that Byrd-NAFL outperforms existing methods in convergence speed, accuracy, and resilience to various malicious attacks.
