Yapay Zeka Girişimi Flower Labs, Felicis Liderliğinde 20 Milyon Dolar Yatırım Aldı

Açık kaynaklı yazılımıyla verilerin tek bir yerde toplanmasına gerek kalmadan bir yapay zeka modelinin eğitilmesini sağlayan Flower Labs, Felicis liderliğinde gerçekleşen Seri A turda 20 milyon dolar yatırım aldı.Yatırım turuna First Spark Ventures, Factorial Capital, Beta Works, Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Mozilla Ventures ile Hugging Face CEO'su Clem Delangue ve GitHub kurucu ortağı Scott Chacon katıldı. Girişimin değerlemesi yeni yatırımla birlikte 100 milyon dolara ulaştı.University of Cambridge'de tanışan kurucu ortaklar Daniel Beutel, Taner Topal ve Nicholas Lane tarafından hayata geçirilen Flower Labs'in teknolojisi, "federated learning" adı verilen bir eğitim modelini kullanıyor. Federated learning, geleneksel merkezi model eğitiminden farklı olarak, verilerin kullanıcı cihazlarda veya küçük veri merkezlerinde kalmasına izin veren bir makine öğrenimi teknolojisi olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu yaklaşım, kullanıcıların kişisel verilerini paylaşmadan, öğrenme modelinin güncellenmesine olanak tanıyor.Federated learning, bir yapay zeka modelinin tüm eğitim verilerinin merkezi bir sunucuya aktarılmadan eğitilmesine imkan sağlıyor ve bu da verilerin gizliliğini ve güvenliğini korumaya yardımcı olabiliyor.Flower Labs'in ürününün 1100'den fazla projede kullanıldığı belirtiliyor. Girişimin, ürün kullanılarak federated learning projelerinin nasıl oluşturulacağını tartışmak isteyenler için kurduğu bir Slack kanalında ise 3 bin 100 geliştirici mevcut. Flower'ı kullanan şirketler arasında danışmanlık devi Accenture, telekom şirketi Orange ve Siemens'in sağlık bölümü bulunuyor.Daniel Beutel, Flower Labs'in aldığı yeni yatırımı federated learning konusundaki farkındalığı artırmak, Flower'ı kullanan geliştiricilerin sayısını artırmak ve personel eklemek için kullanmayı planladıklarını söyledi
