NVIDIA FLARE orchestrates federated multimodal AI training by supporting both full‑model and parameter‑efficient (adapter‑based) communication patterns, using large‑object externalization, tensor streaming, and disk‑backed aggregation to mitigate network and memory limits. The FedUMM framework exchanges only lightweight LoRA adapters over a frozen BLIP backbone, cutting per‑client communication from 28.6 GB to 0.094 GB per round while preserving performance close to centralized baselines. FLARE’s Recipe API, Tensor Downloader, and disk‑offload modules supply tested mechanisms for client update contracts, payload minimization, and scalable aggregation in federated vision‑language workflows.
