Flower Labs launches a new service that automatically switches from local to cloud AI
Flower Labs has launched a preview of its distributed cloud platform for serving AI models. Mozilla is an early user.
What makes Flower Intelligence unique, Flower Labs said in a post on X, is that it can drive on-device AI mobile, PC, and web apps that automatically hand off to a private cloud when needed (with a user’s permission) Apps default to an AI model running locally for speed and privacy but switch to Flower’s cloud when they require extra computational oomph. Flower Labs says that it plans to make the service more widely available in the near future and introduce capabilities including model customization, fine-tuning, and “federated” training in the cloud. Since launching in 2023, Flower Labs has raised around $23.6 million in venture capital from investors including Felicis, Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue, Betaworks, and Pioneer Fund.
