2. **[FedMKT: Federated Mutual Knowledge Transfer for Large and Small Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/fan-2025-fedmkt-federated-mutual-knowledge-transfer/)** *(2025 · 10 citations)* Federated work on LLMs has mostly followed two separate tracks. In one, clients jointly fine-tune identical LLMs. In the other, a server-side LLM teaches small language models (SLMs) on clients. Neither improves the server LLM and the client SLMs together. FedMKT, a parameter-efficient framework, makes knowledge flow…
