Foxconn builds its own AI model, FoxBrain

Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn has waded into the artificial intelligence (AI) arena with a large language model of its own, named FoxBrain.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the company designed the model for internal use initially. FoxBrain can perform functions such as data analysis, mathematics, reasoning and code generation.

Foxconn said Nvidia has supported the model through its Taiwan-based supercomputer and technical consulting, enabling successful model training.


The company reportedly trained the model in about four weeks, using 120 Nvidia H100 graphics processing units.

Foxconn aims to open-source the model for industry partners to advance manufacturing and supply chain management.
