Tempus Sets $55 Million Ceiling for Pathos Neurology Data Contract
Tempus AI signed a five-year neurology data deal with Pathos AI, potentially worth $55 million. Tempus will deliver up to 500,000 records, with Pathos paying $100 per record. Bristol Myers Squibb gains nonexclusive Foundry access and three-year exclusive rights for neuroscience development. Tempus also has a $137.5 million oncology deal with BMS, totaling $192.5 million if both deals reach full value.
How this was made

The 30-second read
Why it matters
The deal provides BMY with new neurology data, potentially supporting its neuroscience programs, while Tempus gains a new revenue stream.
Market read
Primary disclosure of a $55 million neurology data contract; modest relevance for BMY and the biotech data‑licensing space.
What to watch
Potential competition for data access and the restriction on Tempus licensing could limit broader market benefits.
Background
Tempus AI filed an 8‑K announcing a five‑year neurology data licensing deal with Pathos AI, including a side‑letter allowing Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) sublicensing rights.
Ticker impact
Bristol Myers Squibb receives nonexclusive Foundry access and exclusive rights for neuroscience development under the Tempus‑Pathos data contract.
likely slight upward pressure as market prices in the new data access opportunity
The contract adds a new data source for BMY but the financial upside is limited to the $5‑$55 million range.
Market effects
Adds data‑licensing activity in the biotech/neurology sector, may encourage similar deals.
U.S. biotech market sees incremental data‑access activity.
Limited to companies involved; no broad market effect.
Counterpoint
The contract size is modest; impact on BMY may be negligible compared to its larger pipeline.
