Hive, through Buzz HPC, has procured 2,304 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs as part of GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems interconnected with Nvidia Quantum InfiniBand networking. The cluster, once deployed at the Bell data center, will be the compute layer for Cohere to operate its foundation models and AI solutions for government and corporate customers across Canada.
The GPUs have been purchased using the proceeds from Hive's April 2026 $115m convertible note financing round.
