Foxconn and Nvidia deepen partnership to create AI technology for smart cities, EVs, and manufacturing.

Foxconn and Nvidia announced a significant expansion of their collaboration to develop next-generation AI solutions for AI solutions, electric vehicles (EVs), and smart manufacturing. The news, revealed at the Computex 2025 conference in Taipei, emphasizes the companies' common vision for applying AI technologies to transform various sectors.

At the core of this collaboration lies Foxconn's latest AI framework, FoxBrain, which is tailor-made for domain-specific smart city and other industrial applications. FoxBrain adopts open-source architectures such as Meta's Llama-3 and Llama-4, and it specializes in smart manufacturing, mobility, and urban infrastructure-related tasks. As reported by Foxconn Chairman and CEO Young Liu, the AI model is housed in the company's Kaohsiung data center in Taiwan, on which it is running Nvidia's high-end AI chips, such as the H100, GB200, and GB300.

Under this partnership, Foxconn is leading the use of AI in smart city platforms and towards the creation of AI-based infrastructure that can enhance urban living. This encompasses the improvement of smart mobility solutions, the upgradation of transport infrastructure, and the maximization of energy efficiency within cities. Foxconn's "AI factory," powered by a 100MW data center in Taiwan, aims to enable mass deployments of AI across various smart city applications. The initial stage of this data center will be constructed with an initial capacity of 20MW and will figure prominently in the development of AI solutions for smart cities to support intelligent systems to seamlessly control everything from traffic flow to public services.

Foxconn's emphasis on generative AI for smart cities captures the growing needs for innovative technology to fuel city innovation and efficiency. Through the application of AI solutions in various industries, the companies seek to empower cities to become smarter, more sustainable, and better suited to tackle the challenges of modern urban living.
