OpenAI and Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn have announced a collaboration to design and manufacture AI data center hardware in the United States. OpenAI will receive early access to evaluate the systems and has the option to purchase them.
The deal comes amid soaring global demand for AI infrastructure, which OpenAI head Sam Altman says is already outpacing supply. Foxconn, shifting from low-margin iPhone assembly to AI servers, has seen profits surge.
The partnership underscores Foxconn’s growing role in US-based AI infrastructure, alongside other collaborations like its deal with Google’s Intrinsic for intelligent robotics solutions. Analysts see the move as validation of Foxconn as a major player in AI hardware build-out. – AFP/ERMD
