Nvidia and Foxconn They joined forces to work together on a technological development that results in the creation of the first artificial intelligence (AI) factory. This initiative seeks to surpass Elon Musk’s Dojo project, focused on his Tesla electric vehicles.
According to what he points out The confidentialNvidia and Foxconn will create data centers with which they intend to develop a kind of supercomputing.
This is an ideal collaboration for what they want to do, since the basis of everything would be the creation of a GPU infrastructure that is responsible for training machine learning models, which advance generative artificial intelligence.
Nvidia is an expert in the development of graphics processors, with an outstanding track record in the world of video games. While Foxconn is responsible for almost half of the electronic devices on the market.
The collaboration between the two will have everything: the software, data processing capabilities and machinery to test your AI programswhich in principle would be functional robots for industries or autonomous vehicles that operate under the command of AI, similar to Elon Musk’s Dojo project at Tesla Motors.
Foxconn and Nvidia are partnering to advance AI by building “AI factories” – state-of-the-art data centers that produce autonomous systems trained on Nvidia’s hardware.
The collaboration aims to accelerate the “AI industrial revolution.”

This joining of forces was reported to the world at an event organized by the two companies. On behalf of Nvidia, there was CEO Jensen Huang, and at Foxconn there was his counterpart, Young Liu.
The latter said that they have the goal of going from being “a manufacturing services company to a platform solutions company.” They both agreed that “in the future, every company will have an AI factory.”
What is the Dojo project?
Project Dojo is a supercomputer designed and built by Tesla for computer vision video processing and recognition. It will be used to train Tesla’s machine learning models to improve its fully autonomous advanced driver assistance system.
Dojo is based on a custom chip from Tesla, called FSD (Full Self-Driving) Computer. This chip is capable of performing 1.8 teraflops of floating point operations per second, making it one of the most powerful chips in the world.
