Accelerating the frontiers of scientific discovery: Google’s $40M commitment to the Genesis Mission

Google DeepMind 1 month ago 42 19 sources

Google committed $40 million in AI tokens and cloud credits to the White House's Genesis Mission, which aims to accelerate American scientific discovery using frontier AI tools. The in-kind support includes access to AlphaFold 3, AlphaEvolve, WeatherNext, and other AI models for all 17 Department of Energy National Laboratories, plus Gemini for Government seats for tens of thousands of users. Early results show researchers using these tools to explore complex mathematical systems and reduce microscope calibration time from 90 minutes to 13 minutes, enabling faster autonomous experimentation workflows.

Advancing the next era of national science
