Nvidia has committed $1 billion to support US scientific computing over five years as part of the expanded Genesis Mission. This pledge is part of a broader $2.4 billion package from major tech firms, including OpenAI, Amazon, and Google, aimed at accelerating AI-driven research in medicine, energy, and quantum computing.
Major technology firms have pledged $2.4 billion in computing resources and AI access to support the US government's Genesis Mission, a federal initiative aimed at accelerating scientific discovery through artificial intelligence. NVIDIA committed $1 billion over five years to support quantum computing, healthcare, and energy research, while Anthropic pledged $150 million over three years to provide its Claude AI to federal agencies. The announcements were made at the 'Science: A New Golden Age' summit in Washington, D.C., marking a significant expansion of public-private partnerships in scientific research.
National Compute, a new entity pooling resources from major tech firms, will donate $100 million in computing credits to the Trump administration. The funds support the 'Genesis Mission,' a government-wide effort to use AI for scientific discovery. The donation aims to help smaller labs and researchers access capacity that is currently locked up by long-term contracts with large AI firms.
Stanford and SLAC will lead six Genesis Mission projects using AI to accelerate advances in plant genetics, battery mineral recovery, cosmology, and quantum materials, with 11 additional collaborations across national labs, universities, and industry. The awards, part of the DOE Genesis Mission to create a powerful, AI-enabled science-discovery platform, mark the first phase of a two-phase funding effort uniting AI, supercomputing, and advanced instruments to tackle national scientific challenges.
Darío Gil, the DoE’s science under-secretary, is leading a high-profile push into AI and quantum science through the Genesis initiative, which aims to create an overarching AI platform that connects scientific instruments, supercomputers, and data across 17 national labs. The first Genesis funding round drew about 5,000 proposals and $293 million in awards, with the program totaling roughly $520 million so far. The effort coincides with a 2028 target to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer, even as researchers worry that basic-science funding could be squeezed by AI investments. Gil argues the funds will remain spread across disciplines and emphasizes collaboration with industry and academia to harness, safeguard, and guide AI’s future.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced collaborations with 24 organizations to advance the Genesis Mission, leveraging AI to accelerate scientific discovery, enhance national security, and promote energy innovation, in line with President Trump's initiatives to boost American AI leadership.
CoreWeave has joined the Department of Energy's Genesis Mission to support advanced scientific workloads with its AI cloud platform, aiming to accelerate discovery science, enhance national security, and promote U.S. energy innovation through high-performance, reliable AI infrastructure.
