Investing.com-- Foxconn (TW:2317) said on Friday it has partnered with OpenAI to advance the design and U.S. manufacturing readiness of next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure hardware.

The agreement, which carries no purchase commitments, will see OpenAI share insights into emerging hardware needs across the AI industry to guide Foxconn’s development work.

Foxconn will manufacture key data-centre components, including networking, cooling, and power systems, at its U.S. sites, giving OpenAI early access to evaluate the systems and an option to buy them.

Shares of Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, fell nearly 4% to NTD 227.

The collaboration focuses on co-designing multiple generations of AI data-centre racks, broadening U.S. sourcing of components and chipsets, and expanding local testing and assembly to speed deployment and improve supply-chain resilience.

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said the company is “uniquely positioned” to support OpenAI’s mission with scalable infrastructure, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the effort represents a chance to “reindustrialize America."
