Researchers have introduced FEAST, a novel framework for federated learning designed to accommodate clients with varying computational resources. FEAST trains a single elastic model, or "supernet," that can be adapted to different client budgets by learning multiple subnetworks simultaneously. This approach ensures that parameters are accessible to a wider range of clients, improving accuracy in heterogeneous environments. Experimental results on datasets like CIFAR-100 demonstrate that FEAST significantly outperforms existing weight-sharing methods, achieving higher population-averaged accuracy and reducing model-parameter traffic.
