Energy Department Announces Collaboration Agreements with 24 Organizations to Advance the Genesis Mission

Post Date:12/19/2025

The Rundown: The U.S. Dept. of Energy just announced partnerships with 24 organizations to power the Trump administration’s 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 grant lab scientists early access to tools, including its AI co-scientist agent, AlphaEvolve coding system, and AlphaGenome DNA model.
  • AWS pledged up to $50B in government AI infrastructure, with OAI 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 feels like an Avengers collaboration for U.S. AI, with everyone from frontier labs, chipmakers, cloud providers, and other industry titans teaming up to tackle AI advances that have been compared to the Manhattan Project. What comes out of it is anyone’s guess, but this group of collaborators is a very strong first step.
