Performs Reasoning, Data Analysis, and Code Generation
Nvidia Supports with Supercomputer and Technical Consulting
Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision Industry), the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer based in Taiwan, announced on the 10th that it has created 'FoxBrain,' Taiwan's first artificial intelligence (AI) model.
According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), FoxBrain is a large language model (LLM) equipped with reasoning capabilities, capable of performing data analysis, mathematics, code generation, and more.
Foxconn explained that AI leader Nvidia from the United States supported the training of the AI model with a supercomputer located in Taiwan and technical consulting, successfully completing the AI model training in just four weeks.
Foxconn plans to open-source FoxBrain to collaborate with industry partners. The company expects the new AI model to drive advancements in manufacturing and supply chain management.
Lee Yonghui, director of Foxconn's AI Research Center, stated, "We did not simply投入 computing power into this model but prioritized optimized training strategies."
The new model utilized 100 Nvidia H100 graphics processing units.
Foxconn disclosed only some specifications of FoxBrain on this day and announced that additional information will be revealed at Nvidia's annual technology event scheduled for mid-month.
FoxBrain is based on Meta's LLaMA 3.1 architecture and is Taiwan's first large-scale model equipped with advanced reasoning capabilities. It is designed for Traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan and some Chinese communities.
The company stated that while the model's performance slightly lags behind some models from Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, it is close to a world-class level.
WSJ reported that Foxconn, widely known as the manufacturer of Apple iPhones, is facing challenges in its core electronics manufacturing business and is pursuing business diversification into AI and electric vehicles.
