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.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
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.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |

The read
A sovereign AI-cloud offering from the Vietnamese conglomerate FPT, launched in Japan as an NVIDIA Preferred Cloud Partner. FPT's own announcement only covered a pre-order launch with no hardware count; the operational cluster's own facts come almost entirely from TOP500's listing, so this row stays at reported tier.

Site & facility
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.
| Cited source | Result | Found on the page |
|---|---|---|
| fptsoftware.com | names system and part | NVIDIA H200 SXM |
| top500.org | names system and part | NVIDIA H200 SXM, Intel Xeon Platinum 8558, NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR (Quantum-2) |
