Berzelius at Linköping University has 752 A100 GPUs and 128 H200 GPUs across 110 DGX nodes. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation funded the system and its expansions. MIMER’s April 2026 procurement selected Bull to supply a separate system with 400 GB200 GPUs, with installation planned later in 2026. Its approximately €30 million budget covers acquisition, delivery, installation and maintenance; Sweden and EuroHPC each fund half.
Data-quality caveats on this record · 3
- The Swedish government’s September 2025 budget proposal included SEK479 million for AI and data reforms in 2026. This broader package does not provide a dollar-denominated programme total.
- The Berzelius inventory comprises 94 eight-A100 nodes and 16 eight-H200 nodes. Its operator dates the latest expansion to 2025.
- Ericsson, AstraZeneca, SAAB, SEB and Wallenberg Investments announced a separate company-led AI Factory in May 2025, with two planned DGX SuperPODs using GB300 systems.
