Google commits $40M in AI tokens to DOE Genesis Mission

Google DeepMind and Google Cloud are committing $40 million in AI tokens and cloud credits to support the Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, aiming to double the pace of American scientific discovery within a decade. This expanded commitment provides DOE awardees with in-kind access to frontier AI tools, including AlphaFold 3 and AlphaEvolve, alongside Gemini for Government seats for tens of thousands of users across national laboratories.

• Google provides access to its AI for science portfolio, featuring AlphaEvolve for algorithm design, AlphaFold 3 for biomolecule structure prediction, AlphaGenome for DNA variation analysis, WeatherNext for forecasting, and AlphaEarth Foundations.
• Tens of thousands of DOE National Laboratory staff receive one year of Gemini for Government seats and tokens to support research, operations, and management.
• Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers use AlphaEvolve to automate the exploration of complex mathematical systems that are difficult for humans to analyze manually.
• Researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies utilize Gemini to automate microscope calibration, reducing time from over 90 minutes to 13 minutes and cutting manual focus steps from 50 to two.

By providing access to these advanced AI tools, Google aims to help scientists accelerate breakthroughs in critical energy, security, and scientific challenges.
