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
Bristol Myers Squibb's second NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, announced 20 July 2026 as an expansion of a smaller DGX SuperPOD the company says it has run for about three years. NVIDIA's own account gives the new cluster as eight DGX Vera Rubin NVL72 systems (576 Rubin GPUs and 288 Vera CPUs acting as one unified system), which BMS's AI-infrastructure lead has nicknamed the 'SuperDuperPOD', aimed at foundation models for oncology, hematology, cardiovascular, immunology and neuroscience programs. STAT News independently confirms the announcement, the roughly three-year-old prior DGX SuperPOD, and the stated reason for expansion (the existing cluster was saturated), but does not restate the GPU/CPU counts, so the tier stays reported. No specific site was named in either source beyond 'a global pharmaceutical organization', so the site record here is marked undisclosed; status is announced rather than operational because neither source states a go-live date.

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.
