Vietnam-based IT firm FPT said on November 10 that Chimes AI, an industrial AI startup, is using FPT AI Factory to run generative AI on its Tukey manufacturing platform as it expands in Vietnam and other regional markets.

FPT said Chimes AI moved to Nvidia H100 graphics processing units on AI Factory and cut end-to-end latency in a 2,000-input benchmark from 9.54 seconds to 3.28 seconds.

FPT said that was about 2.9x faster than Chimes AI’s previous graphics processing unit environment.

FPT described AI Factory as a cloud platform for developers and enterprises.

The company said its infrastructure in Vietnam and Japan was ranked among the top 500 global data centers.

Vietnam’s cybersecurity rules can require certain service providers to store specified user data locally, but FPT did not cite compliance as a reason for Chimes AI’s deployment.

Separate market research tracked AI in Vietnam’s manufacturing sector as a distinct market.
