QIS vs DiLoCo: Why Google's Distributed Training Breakthrough and Quadratic Intelligence Swarm Solve Completely Different Problems

This article differentiates Google's distributed training solutions (DiLoCo/DiPaCo) from the Quadratic Intelligence Swarm (QIS) protocol. It highlights that while Google's tools optimize large-scale training of single models, QIS focuses on decentralized routing of learning outcomes among multiple institutions without centralizing data.
