Argues that production AI training moves to federated setups and shows a working Flower stack: flower new, flower run, flower list, flower log, flower stop; demo covers three runtimes — local simulation (10 clients by default, sampled 5 with fraction_fit=0.5, 3 server rounds in the demo, can scale to 100–200), remote Superlink server for hosted runs, and full deployment with Superlink/Supernode via Docker/Kubernetes to Raspberry Pi devices; uses Ray for simulation, live multi‑node demo succeeds albeit with occasional networking/flaky client failures.
