The White House announced Thursday (Oct. 8) that 11 companies have committed a total of $2.4 billion in artificial intelligence, which the administration dubs “super intelligence,” to support federal agencies working on energy, health, space and other challenges.
The contributions include AI for science tools and compute credit for the Genesis Mission Consortium, the White House said in a fact sheet.
Nvidia committed $1 billion; AMD, $500 million; OpenAI, $200 million; Anthropic and Google, $150 million each; AMP and Emerald AI, $100 million each; and AWS, Armada, Crusoe and Micron, $50 million each, according to the fact sheet.
The Genesis Mission Consortium includes more than 15 federal agencies working on National Science & Technology Challenges, per the fact sheet.
Anthropic said in a Thursday post on social platform X: “We’re deepening our commitment to scientific research and technological discovery by committing $150 million to the Genesis Mission. We’ll also make Claude and our technical support available to more than 15 federal agencies.”
Crusoe said in a post on X that Crusoe CEO and Co-Founder Chase Lochmiller pledged $50 million in Crusoe Cloud credits for compute and inference to the Genesis Mission Consortium.
“We’re proud to take part in supporting the scientific breakthroughs AI will make possible,” Crusoe said in the post.

The White House announced these contributions during a “Science: A New Golden Age” Summit. During the event, the administration also announced investments in scientific computing through state and regional AI infrastructure hubs that will make the technology available to more researchers across the country, as well as an investment of over $100 million in AI-enabled scientific instrumentation and autonomous laboratories by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
“Today marks the most transformative day for the American scientific enterprise since the reshaping of the federal research ecosystem following World War II,” White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios said in the fact sheet. “The efforts announced today will channel billions of dollars across our science ecosystem to realize the new scientific opportunities that now exist.”
President Donald Trump launched the Genesis Mission in November, directing the Department of Energy to build a unified AI platform that knits together federal scientific data, national laboratory supercomputers and private cloud capacity.
The Department of Energy said in December that 24 organizations had either expressed interest in or were already participating in projects related to the Genesis Mission and its effort to use AI to make advancements in science, energy and national security.
Kratsios said at the time that these research partnerships were “only the beginning” and that the Genesis Mission aims to include companies, universities, nonprofits and federal agencies.
