He met OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and hinted at an upcoming announcement, though details remain undisclosed. The collaboration would expand on last year’s agreement, focusing on AI hardware like data-centre racks and components for OpenAI’s models and infrastructure needs.\n\nFoxconn’s confidence stems from its growing AI infrastructure business, which now accounts for 51% of its cloud and networking revenue. The company operates six AI server factories in Texas and expects double-digit growth next year. Liu also noted that AI demand remains strong, despite broader investor skepticism about the industry’s spending on chips, servers, and data centers.","keyPoints":["Foxconn Chairman Young Liu called AI spending unsustainable bubble fears ‘rejected’ during a Taipei tech event","Foxconn and OpenAI are reportedly finalizing a new partnership after last year’s hardware collaboration agreement","AI infrastructure now makes up 51% of Foxconn’s cloud and networking revenue, up from previous quarters"],"whyItMatters":"Foxconn’s bet on AI infrastructure signals continued demand for hardware, reinforcing the industry’s growth despite market concerns.
