The first significant language model, "FoxBrain," was introduced by Taiwans Foxconn to enhance supply chain and industrial management. Based on Metas Llama 3.1 architecture, FoxBrain was trained over four weeks on 120 Nvidia H100 GPUs tailored for Taiwanese and traditional Chinese language usage. Although it lags a little behind Chinas DeepSeek approach, Foxconn says its performance is on par with toptier standards. FoxBrain facilitates data analysis, decisionmaking, document collaboration, mathematics, reasoning, and code production and was first developed for internal usage. Foxconn intends to increase applications through partnerships, and training was aided by Nvidias Taiwanbased supercomputer "Taipei1." Nvidias GTC conference in midMarch will provide more information.

The tenth round of Free Trade Agreement FTA negotiations between India and the EU will take place in Brussels from 10 March to 14 to resolve significant concerns and conclude the agreement before the end of the year.

The possible threats of U.S. tariffs under Donald Trump have made the situation more urgent. The EUs Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which may increase exporters costs, is one of Indias worries. In light of changing global dynamics, the EU, Indias biggest trading partner, views the FTA as essential for bolstering economic ties and broadening trade alliances. Both parties are still dedicated to overcoming obstacles and expanding their commerce with one another. Read More..
