Story: Taiwan’s Foxconn launched its first large-scale language model on Monday (March 10).
It said it plans to use the technology to improve manufacturing and supply chain management.
Foxconn said in a statement that the model was called the “Fox Bridge” and they completed the model in about four weeks.
This is a major step for the tech giant, which has produced NVIDIA’s AI servers and assembled iPhones for Apple.
Foxconn said the model is based on Meta’s Llama 3.1 architecture.
This is Taiwan’s first large language model with reasoning capabilities.
It is also optimized for traditional Chinese and Taiwanese language styles.
Foxconn said the performance gap is small compared to the distillation model produced by China’s DeepSeek.
But it added that its overall performance is very close to world-class standards.
The company now plans to work with technology partners to expand the model’s application.
