According to reporting cited by multiple outlets, the discussions involve using Nvidia technology while partnering with Foxconn, which is known for electronics manufacturing. The proposed effort is described as part of SoftBank’s broader push to expand its AI infrastructure capabilities and supply chain in Japan, rather than relying solely on imports.
