Agent tool call vanished, server said 200? vLLM's gemma4 parser silently drops it - nothing logs: one team lost 386 turns in 21 days. roger wraps that same command: a broken session self-grades low - trained on, not repeated. #vLLM #AIagents #FOSS github.com/roger-federated/roger-fe…

Federated learning hides who contributed, not what the model memorizes. New ACL 2026 work: FL models memorize client data - your own prefixes pull your own text back out best - with no clear reduction vs centralized training. Update privacy isn't model privacy. #federatedlearning #privacy #ML

GDPR's right to erasure meets ML: how do you prove a record is gone from a trained model? Membership inference is the audit tool. A new survey: defenses cut average leakage but single-outs - records with a unique signature - stay exposed. Average privacy isn't everyone's privacy. #GDPR #privacy #ML

HN's front page is building 'decision models' (Jev-style): mask a 1.7B model's vocab to the option tokens and it answers in one pass - judgment, locally, for cheap. The trap: raw probabilities aren't confidence (0.99 sure, 70% right) until you calibrate. #ML #AIagents #selfhosted

DeepSeek published DSec, the sandbox platform behind its agentic training: one production unit spans ~160 nodes, ~3M sandboxes a day, 380,000+ concurrent, 5,000 creations per second. Stateful rollouts are decoupled from preemptible GPU training. Agent RL is infra.

Agreed the picture changed. Consumer GPUs now run QLoRA RL rounds on-device (I work on exactly this), so the too-weak-for-crypto excuse weakens. But the limit moved, not left: training competes with serving for the same VRAM, and FL aggregation encrypts LoRA-sized updates, not sensor-sized ones.

Federated learning's pitch: fine-tune locally, share only tiny LoRA gradients. MineGrad (arXiv 2608.01521) breaks it - a malicious server hides extraction in the pretrained model and reads your training data out of them. The server is the attack surface. #privacy #federatedlearning #ML

Combining Homomorphic Encryption and Differential Privacy in Federated Learning for Model Inspection and Availability

The increasing prevalence of decentralized data has led to a growing interest in federated learning, which enables collaborative model training without clients sharing their sensitive local data. However, FL alone does not sufficiently protect sensitive training data and is generally coupled with privacy-preserving techniques, such as differential privacy and homomorphic encryption. Although powerful, these techniques address separate concerns via different mechanisms, so relying on just one might prove insufficient or impractical for addressing challenges associated with federated learning. In this work, we propose a privacy-preserving federated learning framework that combines homomorphic encryption-based training with differential privacy-based model inspection and release. We adopt a Markov chain Monte Carlo-based Bayesian privacy estimation method to estimate the privacy of our proposed framework. Our results show that this method improves both model utility and estimated privacy over the baseline method that relies solely on differential privacy for training. In our experiments with the FEMNIST dataset, by the end of training, our method reaches a test loss of $1.09$, compared to $2.37$ for the differential privacy-only approach, while providing stronger estimated privacy protection, with the estimated posterior mean of the privacy parameter $ε$ of $4.32$, compared to $7.26$ for the differential privacy-only approach. We also show that intermittent model monitoring can preserve the encrypted training trajectory while, under our evaluated experimental setting, providing estimated privacy comparable to or stronger than the differential privacy-only approach.

Stacking several LoRA deltas onto one base? Summing them scales the effective step with N - each delta was trained to move the weights a given distance, and the sum overshoots every one of them. Average them (1/N) instead. #LoRA #MachineLearning #federatedlearning
