San Jose, Tuesday, 18 March 2025.
Foxconn presents cutting-edge AI advancements at NVIDIA GTC, including the first glimpse of the FoxBrain, a Traditional Chinese LLM with reasoning abilities, expected to enhance their smart manufacturing platform.

Groundbreaking AI Infrastructure and Robotics

At NVIDIA GTC 2025, currently underway in San Jose, California [6], Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) is demonstrating its expertise through six comprehensive sessions, showcasing innovations from frontier AI to hybrid robots [1]. A highlight of their presentation includes the new-generation GB300 NVL72 server rack model, co-developed with NVIDIA, which powers the training and inference of large language models [2]. As a Diamond sponsor, Foxconn has established a dedicated Robotics Zone featuring their Hybrid Robot, equipped with advanced vision recognition and precision mobility capabilities specifically designed for semiconductor manufacturing [1].

FoxBrain: A Milestone in AI Development

The company’s newly unveiled FoxBrain represents a significant advancement in AI technology. This Traditional Chinese Large Language Model, developed by Hon Hai Research Institute, was trained using 120 NVIDIA H100 GPUs over 2,688 GPU days and features a context window length of 128K tokens [5]. The model processes 98 billion tokens of high-quality pre-training data across 24 topic categories, demonstrating superior performance in mathematics and logical reasoning compared to existing models [5].

Strategic Growth and Financial Performance

The timing of these AI innovations aligns with Foxconn’s strong financial trajectory. The company recently reported record-breaking financial results, with FY2024 showing a net profit of NT$152.7 billion and earnings per share of NT$11.01, marking a 17-year high [4]. Looking ahead, Foxconn projects its AI server revenue to more than double in Q1 2025 [4], supported by the implementation of advanced cooling solutions developed in collaboration with SoftBank and ZutaCore, which achieved an impressive partial Power Usage Effectiveness (pPUE) of 1.03 [3].

Future Outlook and Market Impact

Chairman Young Liu emphasized that ‘2025 will be the first year of AI’ [4], positioning Foxconn at the forefront of the AI revolution. The company’s comprehensive approach to AI integration, from manufacturing to healthcare solutions, is evidenced by their upcoming deployment of the Nurabot nursing collaborative robot in Taiwanese hospitals [1]. This strategic positioning comes at a time when hyperscale capital expenditures have surged by 82% due to AI infrastructure spending [7], indicating strong market momentum for Foxconn’s AI initiatives.
