The U.S. Department of Energy said on Thursday it has signed agreements with 24 organizations, including tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia to advance the Genesis Mission.
The mission is a national program aimed at using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific research and strengthen U.S. energy and security capabilities.
The department said the program is designed to boost scientific productivity and reduce reliance on foreign technology.
Participants include major cloud and chip providers such as AWS, Oracle, IBM, Intel, AMD, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, alongside AI specialists OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI.
Nvidia will provide accelerated computing platforms and AI models for scientific simulations, while Microsoft and Google will contribute cloud infrastructure and AI tools to support large-scale research.
Oracle is expected to assist in building high-performance computing systems, and Palantir will offer data integration and analytics capabilities. Startups Cerebras and Groq will supply advanced AI chips optimized for scientific workloads. OpenAI signed a memorandum of understanding under its "OpenAI for Science" initiative, deploying frontier AI models in national lab research environments and providing its tools and workflows to DOE scientists.
Anthropic will supply its Claude models and offer a dedicated engineering team to DOE to develop AI agents, model context protocols, or MCPs, and specialized Claude "skills" for national labs. The 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 earlier collaborations between the DOE and the booming industry to deploy high-performance computing systems at Argonne and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
The department said it expects the effort to significantly accelerate scientific discovery, as it plans to expand partnerships with academia and non-profits.
Genisys is Skynet.
When Genisys comes online, Judgment Day Begins.
You can kill Skynet before it's born.
KILL IT KILL THE AI WITH NUCLEAR FIRE
Idk I think the day somebody tries to kill it with nuclear fire will just mean judgment day for all of us anyway, but maybe you can't really fight the future.
