Empowering an Adaptive, Responsible, Secure, and Intelligent way forward

Scientists today face challenges of extraordinary scale and complexity. From shaping and simulating the intricate dynamics of fusion plasma, to exploring the vast search space of new materials, to making sense of the exabytes of data pouring out of the world's most advanced experimental facilities. The demands on modern research are unprecedented. Frontier AI can help address these challenges, while accelerating groundbreaking scientific discoveries.

In December, we shared our commitment to the White House's Genesis Mission — the national effort to harness AI and double the pace of American scientific discovery within a decade. Since then, Google DeepMind (GDM) announced an early access program that provides AI for science tools to all 17 Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories, and Google Public Sector shared how Gemini for Government could serve as an AI backbone for the DOE.

Today, at the DOE Genesis Mission Summit 2026, we are expanding this by committing $40 million of AI tokens and cloud credits for researchers in support of the Genesis Mission.

Frontier AI tools for scientific discovery

Under this expanded commitment, we will first provide DOE’s Genesis Mission awardees in-kind access to GDM’s frontier AI for science portfolio, including:

  • AlphaEvolve — a Gemini-powered coding and discovery agent, for designing advanced algorithms.
  • AlphaFold 3 — a model for predicting the structure and interactions of proteins and other biomolecules.
  • AlphaGenome — a tool for understanding how variation in DNA, including the non-coding genome, shapes biology and disease.
  • WeatherNext — a state-of-the-art family of AI weather forecasting models for mapping weather conditions.
