The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said on Thursday that it has struck agreements with 24 organizations, including tech giants Microsoft (MSFT.O), Google (GOOGL.O), and Nvidia (NVDA.O), to advance the Genesis mission.
This mission is a national program aimed at using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific research and strengthen America's energy and security capabilities.
It includes major cloud and chip providers such as AWS, Oracle (ORCL.N), IBM (IBM.N), Intel (INTC.O), AMD (AMD.O), and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE.N), as well as AI specialists OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI.
Nvidia will provide accelerated computing platforms and AI models for scientific simulations, while Microsoft and Google will provide cloud infrastructure and AI tools to support large-scale research.
Oracle is expected to help build high-performance computing systems, and Palantir (PLTR.O) will provide data integration and analytics capabilities. Startups Cerebras and Groq will supply advanced AI chips optimized for scientific workloads.
OpenAI has signed a memorandum of understanding under its "OpenAI for Science" initiative, which will deploy frontier AI models in national lab research environments and provide DOE scientists with access to its tools and workflows.
Anthropic will supply its cloud models and provide the DOE with a dedicated engineering team to develop AI agents, Model Context Protocols, or MCPs, and specialized cloud "skills" for the national labs.
These partnerships will focus on AI models for applications ranging from nuclear energy and quantum computing to robotics and supply chain optimization.
The Genesis mission builds on previous collaborations between the DOE and the rapidly growing industry to deploy high-performance computing systems at Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratories. The department said it expects this effort to significantly accelerate scientific discovery, as it plans to expand partnerships with academics and non-profit organizations.
