The U.S. Dept. of Energy announced partnerships with 24 organizations to power the Genesis Mission effort to accelerate scientific research with AI — including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Nvidia. The details: • The initiative unites 17 national labs with ~40K researchers, targeting breakthroughs in nuclear energy, quantum computing, and manufacturing. • Google DeepMind will provide early access to AI tools (including its AI co-scientist agent, AlphaEvolve coding system, and AlphaGenome DNA model). • AWS pledged up to $50B for government AI infrastructure, with OpenAI already deploying models on Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Venado supercomputer. • Additional signatories include xAI, Microsoft, Palantir, AMD, Oracle, Cerebras, and CoreWeave. Why it matters: This is a major “all-hands” U.S. push to combine frontier models + supercomputing + national lab science workflows, aiming to speed up discovery across high-impact domains.
