## Federated Learning for Collaborative Model Training

**☑️ Open Model Training Dapp**

## Decentralized Model Training&#x20;

**ShardAI Trainer** leverages federated learning to enable a decentralized approach to AI model training, using multiple GPUs distributed across various nodes. This system ensures that the training data remains on local devices, enhancing user privacy and data security, while still benefiting from the collective learning of the network.

* **Local Data Processing:** Data does not leave its original environment, ensuring compliance with data privacy laws and reducing security risks.
* **Collective Intelligence:** Though data remains local, the insights and model improvements are shared, enhancing the model's accuracy and robustness without compromising data integrity.
* **Reduced Data Transfer:** Only necessary model updates are transmitted rather than raw data, significantly cutting down bandwidth usage.
* **Efficient Use of Network Resources:** Optimizes network traffic and reduces latency, making the system suitable for real-time applications.
