BioHive-2
Operated by Recursion at Recursion Pharmaceuticals HQ (Salt Lake City) .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.

The read
Recursion's second AI supercomputer, an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD of 63 DGX H100 nodes (Xeon Platinum 8480C hosts, 504 NVIDIA H100 GPUs) on NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand NDR400, at the same Salt Lake City headquarters as BioHive-1. NVIDIA's own account and TOP500 independently agree on the 504-GPU DGX SuperPOD design, the debut rank of 35th (June 2024 TOP500), and the Salt Lake City location, so those facts are verified; TOP500 alone is the source for the precise Rmax/Rpeak and core count. Because the (top500, 2026-06) edition already holds fifty tracked rows, this dataset records BioHive-2's June 2024 debut appearance; TOP500 continued listing the same system through at least June 2026 (most recently 93rd).

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
