Takeaway Points
- Foxconn has unveiled a traditional Chinese large language learning model with reasoning capabilities.
- The FoxBrain training process was powered by 120 NVIDIA H100 GPUs.
- On Feb 27, 2025, Foxconn signed a deal with the Mexican State of Sonora to explore smart cities.
Foxconn, on Monday, announced the launch of its first Traditional Chinese Large Language Model (LLM), setting another milestone in the development of Taiwan’s AI technology with a more efficient and lower-cost model training method completed in just four weeks.
Dr. Yung-Hui Li, Director of the Artificial Intelligence Research Center at Hon Hai Research Institute, commented, “In recent months, the deepening of reasoning capabilities and the efficient use of GPUs have gradually become the mainstream development in the field of AI. Our FoxBrain model adopted a very efficient training strategy, focusing on optimizing the training process rather than blindly accumulating computing power. Through carefully designed training methods and resource optimization, we have successfully built a local AI model with powerful reasoning capabilities.”
the FoxBrain training
The company said that the FoxBrain training process was powered by 120 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, scaled with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, and ended in about four weeks. Compared with inference models recently launched in the market, the more efficient and lower-cost model training method sets a new milestone for the development of Taiwan’s AI technology.
The results of FoxBrain are planned to be shared for the first time at a major conference during the NVIDIA GTC 2025 Session Talk on March 20, the report stated.
Foxconn Signs Deal with Mexican State of Sonora To Explore Smart City
On Feb 27, 2025, Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the State of Sonora in Mexico covering Smart City cooperation, expanding for the first time outside of Taiwan a key intelligent platform service that is being developed by the world’s largest electronics manufacturing service provider.
Foxconn said that it will work with the Sonora State Government under the MOUs to promote smart city solutions, starting with transportation, public security, and ports, and provide the state’s residents, businesses, and local governments with a better digital experience and governance.
Sonora Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño commented, “The state is ready to become the center of Mexico’s electric transportation revolution and take the lead in artificial intelligence to benefit daily life. The MOU with Foxconn will not only continue to position the state at the forefront of research, innovation, and technological development, but will also contribute to building a prosperous and healthy future for Mexican families.
The Governor added, “In line with the Olinia project promoted by Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, we invite Foxconn to explore the possibility of cooperation in the field of electric vehicles, batteries and electric buses.”
Young Liu, Foxconn Chairman, remarked, “Digitalization and AI-enabled urban governance are important for cities to become intelligent and provide more smart services to businesses and the public. The purpose of Foxconn’s BOL business model is to use the Group’s unique advantages, including its technological capabilities, software and hardware integration, AI computing power, and global reach to share, cooperate, and thrive with countries, regions, and partners.”
About Hon Hai Research Institute
The institute has five research centers. Each center has an average of 40 high-technology R&D professionals, all of whom are focused on the research and development of new technologies, the strengthening of Foxconn’s technology and product innovation pipeline, efforts to support the Group’s transformation from “brawn” to “brains,” and the enhancement of the competitiveness of Foxconn’s “3+3” strategy.
