Foxconn (HNHPF) has built FoxBrain, an in-house reasoning LLM, trained in four weeks with support from Nvidia (NVDA) via its Taiwan-based supercomputer and consulting, The Wall Street Journal’s Yang Jie reports. The company plans to open-source the model for collaborations with industry partners and envisions FoxBrain driving advancements in manufacturing and supply-chain management, according to the report. The model “prioritized optimized training strategies over simply throwing computing power” at the problem, said Yung-Hui Li, director of Foxconn’s artificial intelligence research center.
