BMS is building a massive AI factory on NVIDIA Vera Rubin
NVIDIA Blog · rss · 2026-07-20
NVIDIA says Bristol Myers Squibb is deploying a second DGX SuperPOD, this time built on eight DGX Vera Rubin NVL72 systems, to power life-science research at larger scale.
Key points:
- BMS is unifying its AI environment across sites into a single data plane
- The new system is presented as up to 10x more performant per megawatt than the infrastructure it replaces
- Researchers will use NVIDIA’s BioNeMo Agent Toolkit and plain-English interfaces for predictions, model training, and agentic workflows
- The company says AI is already helping with target identification, compound expansion, and lead optimization in drug discovery
The broader message is that BMS wants AI to become a shared research platform for every scientist, not a small specialized cluster.
