2026 FedQuad: Adaptive Layer-Wise LoRA Deployment and Activation Quantization for Federated Fine-Tuning
abstract
Federated fine-tuning (FedFT) provides an effective paradigm for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) in privacy-sensitive scenarios. However, practical deployment remains challenging due to the limited resources on end devices. Existing methods typically utilize parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) techniques, such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), to substantially reduce communication overhead. Nevertheless, significant memory usage for activation storage and computational demands from full backpropagation remain major barriers to efficient deployment on resource-constrained end devices. Moreover, substantial resource heterogeneity across devices results in severe synchronization bottlenecks, diminishing the overall fine-tuning efficiency. To address these issues, we propose FedQuad, a novel LoRA-based FedFT framework that adaptively adjusts the LoRA depth (the number of consecutive tunable LoRA layers from the output) according to devices' computational power, while employing activation quantization to reduce memory overhead, thereby enabling efficient deployment on resource-constrained devices. Specifically, FedQuad first identifies the feasible and efficient combinations of LoRA depth and the number of activation quantization layers based on device-specific resource constraints. Subsequently, FedQuad employs a greedy strategy to select the optimal configurations for each device, effectively accommodating system heterogeneity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FedQuad achieves a 1.4–5.3× convergence acceleration compared to state-of-the-art baselines when reaching target accuracy, highlighting its efficiency and deployability in resource-constrained and heterogeneous end-device environments.
