Eli Lilly Taps Nvidia to Build Pharma AI Supercomputer Ahead of January Launch

The system will feed Lilly's TuneLab models for biotechs, with meaningful benefits expected around 2030.

Overview

  • Lilly will own and operate an Nvidia DGX SuperPOD with DGX B300 systems powered by more than 1,000 Blackwell Ultra GPUs.
  • The buildout is slated to finish in December 2025, with the supercomputer and AI factory going online in January 2026.
  • Researchers plan to train AI models on millions of experiments to broaden and speed testing of potential medicines.
  • Through the TuneLab platform, biotechs can access Lilly’s proprietary models via federated learning without exchanging raw data.
  • Beyond discovery, Lilly targets shorter development cycles and applications in manufacturing, medical imaging and enterprise AI agents, while forecasting significant returns closer to 2030.
