NVIDIA and Foxconn team up to develop new AI-focused data centers

Jen-Hsun Huang and Yang-Wei Liu announced their new project: building a “factory” dedicated to AI innovation

At a recent joint press conference, NVIDIA ) CEO Huang Jen-Hsun and Hon Hai Group (also known as Foxconn Technology Group) Chairman Liu Yangwei announced the two companies’ latest cooperation plan. They will join forces to build an artificial intelligence (AI) "factory", a new data center that will focus on developing and utilizing AI technology.

Nvidia stated that this expanded partnership with Hon Hai Technology Group aims to accelerate the development of AI-driven electric vehicles and robot platforms. This goal will be achieved by deploying NVIDIA technology in new data centers built by Hon Hai.

This new data center will be named "AI Factory" and will support a variety of innovative applications such as manufacturing digital and generative AI services. Hon Hai Technology Group plans to build a large number of computing systems based on Nvidia CPUs and GPUs and their network technologies, and supply these systems to customers who want to build AI data factories. The systems will be equipped with Nvidia's hardware and AI Enterprise software to meet customer needs for internal AI workloads and other tasks, such as training autonomous robots and self-driving cars.

In addition to manufacturing components for customers’ AI factories, Hon Hai Technology Group also plans to build its own AI factories. Hon Hai's AI factory will leverage Nvidia's Omniverse platform and Isaac and Metropolis frameworks to meet the electronics industry's strict production and quality standards, the company said. Hon Hai’s AI factory will focus on training and inference of these systems, as well as conducting virtual world simulations.

In addition, Hon Hai Technology Group has also selected Nvidia’s Drive Hyperion 9 platform, which is supported by the latest Drive Thor carSoC (system on chip), as its autonomous driving Basics of vehicle electronic control units. This important decision highlights NVIDIA's leading position in the field of autonomous driving technology and further expands Hon Hai Technology Group's layout in the field of smart travel solutions.

This joint cooperation between Nvidia and Hon Hai Technology Group will undoubtedly further promote the popularization and application of AI technology on a global scale. The new AI-focused data center they jointly developed will have a profound impact on the electronics industry and other fields, opening a new chapter for future smart manufacturing, smart travel, and the widespread application of artificial intelligence.
