    Link to announcement here.

    Key details*:

    • The U.S. government named the first 278 projects in its $5B+ Genesis Mission, a Manhattan Project-like AI science push aimed at pairing scientists with compute, data, and models to tackle "the most challenging problems of the century."

    • Genesis drew 5,000-plus proposals for a program the Department of Energy says is built to make U.S. science twice as productive.

    • Universities lead 168 of the teams, and 87 come from national labs, with the largest award at $60M over three years for AI-assisted nuclear plant builds.

    • Winners plug into DOE supercomputers, top AI models, and agentic tools, plus $500M+ in industry pledges that include $40M of Microsoft compute credits.

    • Other research areas include stronger grids and building materials, faster drug research, and advances in chips, fusion, biosecurity, and minerals.
