**Citable summary**: Tempus AI's confirmed suppliers/cost counterparties include Illumina, NVIDIA plus 1 undisclosed/aggregate relationship. Per the valuechain.wiki graph: 3 cost edges, backed by 2 dated sources, 1 of them primary filings (as of 2026-07-12).

### Illumina (mid)  → /illumina.md
- note: Depends on Illumina and others for sequencing, the starting cost of genetic testing — the key upstream input that powers the diagnostics data-funnel (75% of revenue), so sequencing unit cost drives the segment's margin.
- [confirms] Tempus (EN, filing, published 2026-02-24) https://www.tempus.com/news/pr/tempus-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2025-results/: "Sources sequencing for genomic testing from Illumina and others."

### NVIDIA (mid)  → /nvidia.md
- note: Depends on NVIDIA for the compute to train foundation models — the upstream cost of building the 'model' it sells to pharma, where compute spend scales with the growing dataset.
- [confirms] Yahoo Finance (EN, news, published 2026-01-01) https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/healthcare/articles/tempus-ais-diagnostics-data-arms-160300587.html: "NVIDIA compute to train multimodal foundation models."

### 클라우드·실험실 (비공개) (low)
- note: Cloud and lab operations.
