Google DeepMind and Google Cloud announced a $40 million contribution of AI tokens and cloud credits to the Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, an initiative aimed at doubling the pace of U.S. scientific discovery within ten years. The funding will give award‑winning laboratories in‑kind access to frontier AI tools such as AlphaEvolve, AlphaFold 3, AlphaGenome, WeatherNext and AlphaEarth Foundations, alongside Gemini for Government seats for a year.
The program targets researchers across all 17 DOE national labs, providing secure, scalable AI infrastructure from algorithm design to facility management. Early adopters like Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are already testing these tools to accelerate work in areas ranging from protein modeling to climate forecasting.
