OpenAI, Foxconn to Collaborate on AI Hardware Manufacturing

By Nicholas G. Miller

OpenAI and Foxconn agreed to a collaboration to manufacture artificial-intelligence hardware in the U.S.

As part of the partnership, OpenAI late Thursday said it will provide Foxconn insight on hardware needs in the AI industry, informing Foxconn's design and development efforts. OpenAI will have early access to evaluate these systems and have an option to purchase them.

The companies will codesign, engineer and develop multiple generations of AI data-center racks and improve the U.S. manufacturing supply chain, OpenAI said. Foxconn will manufacture equipment for AI data centers in the U.S., it added.

Foxconn, otherwise known as Hon Hai, is a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer.
