WiMi Researches Reinforcement Learning-Based Blockchain Federated Learning Framework to Optimize Model Aggregation Strategy and Security

Published

on

BEIJING, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced the initiation of exploring the integration of Reinforcement Learning (RL) into the federated learning framework. RL, as a significant branch of machine learning, has become a crucial tool for optimizing the federated learning process due to its decision-making capabilities in complex environments.

Reinforcement Learning is a machine learning approach that enables an intelligent agent to learn optimal strategies through interactions with the environment. In a blockchain-based federated learning framework utilizing reinforcement learning, the reinforcement learning algorithm can dynamically adjust the timing of model aggregation, selection of data participants, and transaction costs. This achieves a balance between information timeliness and data bias, as well as intelligent control over transaction costs, ultimately optimizing the overall learning performance.

In federated learning, there can be significant differences in the datasets of different participants, known as the data bias problem. Additionally, model updates need to be aggregated at the appropriate timing to avoid outdated information affecting overall learning performance. The reinforcement learning algorithm can simulate interactions with the environment to learn when to upload model updates and how to select the most effective models for aggregation under different data distributions. This helps find the optimal balance between information timeliness and data bias. The cost of blockchain transactions, including the consumption of computational resources and network bandwidth, is another important consideration in federated learning. Reinforcement learning can intelligently predict network conditions, resource availability, and transaction priorities to dynamically adjust the frequency and scale of model aggregation. This ensures learning effectiveness while minimizing overall transaction costs. By applying reinforcement learning algorithms to optimize model aggregation strategies, not only does it significantly improve federated learning efficiency and model accuracy, but it also effectively reduces transaction costs.

With the continuous advancement of technology, blockchain-based federated learning frameworks based on reinforcement learning will play a crucial role in various fields such as healthcare, financial services, and the Internet of Things (IoT), promoting the security, efficiency, and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence technology. For example, in the healthcare industry, this framework can facilitate data sharing among hospitals, research institutions, and patients, accelerating the development of disease diagnosis and treatment plans while strictly protecting individual privacy. In the financial services industry, it can assist banks and financial institutions in building more secure and efficient credit assessment and risk management models. In the field of IoT, it enables intelligent collaboration among devices, enhancing the overall network’s responsiveness and intelligence level.

WiMi’s research on the blockchain-based federated learning framework using reinforcement learning represents a significant innovation at the intersection of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and reinforcement learning. It provides innovative approaches to address the trust, security, and efficiency issues faced by traditional federated learning. In the future, with further theoretical research and practical applications, the technological potential of blockchain-based federated learning using reinforcement learning will be more fully explored and widely applied in various industry sectors.

Fox ESS Celebrates Strong Momentum with Integrated Solar Storage & Charging Solutions at Smart Energy 2026

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, attended Smart Energy 2026 during 6-7 May as a platinum sponsor. At the event, Fox ESS showcased its next-generation approach to solar storage and EV charging solution, delivering a seamless, future-ready energy experience for homeowners and installers across Australia.

Integrated Solutions Tailored for Aussie Homes

At Smart Energy 2026, Fox ESS highlighted its storage-to-charging solution, designed to make everyday energy use more convenient for local residents. With performance-led products and proven market traction, Fox ESS is set to play its part in building a more resilient energy future for Australia.

Battery Systems

Fox ESS continues to build momentum in the battery market. Sunwiz, an Australian solar consultancy, recently reported that Fox ESS ranked No.1 in March for installation capacity. And the company also revealed it has installed more than 25,000 systems in April. During the exhibition, Sunwiz presented Fox ESS with an award, recognising the company as Top Solar Company for Fastest Growing Battery.

CQ7 V6+ High Voltage Battery (42kWh and above)
Building on Fox ESS’ proven strengths, compact design and high capacity, CQ7 V6+ is well suited to medium-sized households and ensure the free use of electricity and maximize the self-consumption.EQ4800 High Voltage Battery (28kWh)
A reliable choice for smaller households, designed for efficient day-to-day energy storage.

Alongside its battery range, Fox ESS showcased all-in-one systems, including Stackable AIO and EVO, designed to simplify installation while maintaining a high standard of design and presentation.

Inverters

Fox ESS offers a range of inverters to suit local requirements, supported by up to 200% PV oversizing and a 10-year product warranty.

Single-phase: H1‑G2 (3–6kW); KH series (7–10.5kW)Three-phase: H3 Smart (5–15kW); H3 Pro (15–29.9kW); H3 Plus (50–125kW)

EV Chargers

With EV adoption accelerating, Fox ESS also offers EV charging solutions with solar linkage, designed to work across its inverter portfolio. The chargers provide robust, smart energy management, including dynamic load balancing to help protect home circuits.

A Series (7.3kW / 11kW / 22kW): IP65 and IK08 protection, OCPP-compliant.L Series (7.3kW / 11kW): straightforward installation with multiple colour options.

Big Battery Still Takes Centre Stage

As the Cheaper Home Battery Program moves into a new phase under an updated rebate policy, interest in larger battery systems continues to grow, particularly as more households consider EV upgrades amid rising fuel costs. More EVs typically mean households need greater energy availability, making higher-capacity storage an increasingly attractive option.

Looking ahead, from 1 July 2026, the Australian Government’s Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) will provide eligible households with three hours of free daily electricity to align with peak solar generation. Households with larger batteries will be well placed to make the most of this opportunity.

Fox ESS is also working with local VPP partners, including Amber Electric and Origin Loop VPP, helping homeowners unlock maximum value while supporting greater grid stability.

Maimai Comes Alive at the Exhibition

Visitors to the Fox ESS stand experienced a full programme of brand activations across the event. Following the online announcement, Sydney served as Maimai’s first physical stop, bringing the community together for face-to-face engagement. Attendees queued to take photos with the brand’s friendly and recognisable mascot.

Long-Term Commitment to Australia

Fox ESS has opened two local offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with more than 30 dedicated specialists supporting local customer needs. The company is also looking to play a wider role in Australia’s energy transition.

Notably, Ian Thorpe made his first in-person appearance at Fox Night, where he presented partners with awards. At the event party, Fox ESS also hosted a battery installation challenge, featuring eight rounds of competition, with the final winners receiving a range of prizes.

“We’re delighted to see such a strong result following the rollout of local policy. With nearly 400,000 Australian households now installing batteries, Fox ESS has played a key role, but this is only the beginning. We’re committed to keeping momentum and helping make a smarter, more reliable energy future a reality for more homes.” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director, Fox ESS.
