LONDON – August 20, 2026 FLock.io, a leading privacy-preserving AI solution provider, today announced a collaboration with Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, to deliver federated learning (FL) to Red Hat’s ecosystem of global organisations.
Red Hat provides enterprise-grade open -source solutions trusted by more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies, as well as public-sector institutions and government agencies. With this collaboration, FLock.io is working to enable the integration of its enterprise-grade, cloud-native infrastructure with Red Hat’s industry-leading technology stack and broadly adopted by global organisations.
The collaboration is part of FLock.io’s strategy to expand sovereign and private cloud capabilities using Red Hat solutions, empowering global organisations with greater control over their technology and data. The two companies are defining a future where privacy, control and transparency are foundational.
FL is a technique for collaboratively training a model without sharing the data. It’s valued by the private and public sectors for building custom models on sensitive data without compromising privacy, compliance, or operational control. Flock.io is working to extensively deploy its platform, FL Alliance, to deliver enterprise-grade FL to global use cases in a standardised way. As part of this effort, FLock.io is working towards enabling scalable, production-oriented FL deployments by combining its privacy-preserving AI infrastructure with cloud-native orchestration frameworks.
This work reflects a broader shift in federated learning – from primarily research-driven experimentation towards more structured, real-world deployment scenarios. By aligning with open-source infrastructure and enterprise tooling ecosystems, FLock.io aims to lower the barrier for organisations adopting privacy-preserving AI.
Jiahao Sun, CEO of FLock.io, said: “By working within the Red Hat ecosystem, we are taking an important step toward making privacy-preserving AI through federated learning more accessible in real-world environments.
He added: “This work reflects our commitment to building interoperable, open-source infrastructure that allows developers to deploy AI models within trusted cloud-native environments.”
