US federal initiative using AI to accelerate scientific research, with a goal of doubling research productivity within a decade.
DOE awarded $159 million to 12 Phase II Genesis Mission projects, bringing the Phase II total to 14. The awards go to project teams, and the report does not say what any cloud provider will be paid.

NVIDIA committed $1 billion over five years and announced seven national-lab systems, led by Argonne's Solstice with around 100,000 Blackwell GPUs. Solstice targets AI work at 4 to 16 bits, so labs that need double precision are left weighing emulation against native FP64 hardware.
Reality
DOE will invest more than $500 million and Biohub $500 million over five years in open cell data for AI models, under a pact with NIH. Biohub puts the whole effort at $1.8 billion, a total that counts NIH-coordinated datasets built with earlier federal money.
Reality
Nvidia committed $1 billion over five years to US science research tied to the Trump administration's Genesis Mission. It has not published how the money splits, so labs and cloud buyers cannot yet tell who gets compute or when.

National Compute plans to pledge $100 million in compute credits to the Genesis Mission at Thursday's White House event, Business Insider reported. Researchers cannot schedule work against the credits until the providers, eligibility rules and start date are disclosed.

PNNL is building AQUA-WOLF, an AI agent meant to take over the hours physicists spend hand-tuning amplifiers for dark-matter and qubit work. Its first reward is signal gain alone, and noise, the property these amplifiers exist to keep near zero, gets scored only in a later stage.

President Trump ordered federal agencies to write 'Super Intelligence' in place of 'AI' in correspondence, websites, reports and policy documents. The order sets no new duty for model builders; what could change their scope is a proposed statutory definition due to the President within 60 days.

Twelve pennycress lines, 360 plants and more than 24,000 camera observations went into a nickel screen whose analysis now takes minutes, though the accumulation figures that would make phytomining a supply story sit outside the release.

Atalanta is selling Argo on the strength of the satellite network Russia crippled in 2022. In the reporting, the math is attested by the vendor and its customer, and by nobody else.

HiddenLayer says it will contribute to Prometheus, the Idaho-led federal effort to put AI into reactor work. The Phase II selection belongs to the consortium, and still depends on appropriations.

The "AI for nuclear" toolkit aims to cut permitting time by over 90%. The unresolved question is whether any regulator will accept simulation output as licensing evidence.

Seoul wants top-three status by 2035 on more than 1,000 trillion won. The inaugural director of its National AI Research Hub says the money is budgeted on the wrong clock.
