Anthropic announced on October 8 a commitment of $150 million over three years to the Genesis Mission, a US federal initiative to accelerate scientific discovery with artificial intelligence. The funding is meant to expand access to Claude across more than 15 participating agencies, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.
The announcement came at the Science: A New Golden Age Summit, hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington. The partnership with the Department of Energy and the Genesis Mission was first presented in December 2025; the company says it has since brought Claude to scientists at national laboratories.
What is in the package
According to Anthropic's post, the commitment includes:
- Claude, Claude Code, and API credits for several hundred Genesis Mission research projects;
- close work with agencies and national laboratories on priorities such as fusion energy and quantum computing;
- training, onboarding, and technical support for scientists, plus help for agencies new to the mission to start their first projects.
DOE on the same day
On the same October 8, the Department of Energy announced 12 Phase II Genesis Mission projects totaling $159 million, plus six Phase I projects. DOE says the selection brings Phase II to 14 projects and the first-year portfolio to 297 projects. These are distinct announcements: Anthropic's is private access to a model; DOE's is public project funding.
The Genesis Mission launched in November 2025. Super Intelligence, the term used by DOE, describes the department's stated goal for science; it is not confirmation that such a system already exists.
