The White House on Thursday announced $2.4 billion in commitments from eleven companies to supply computing credits and research tools to federal agencies through the Genesis Mission, the administration's effort to use AI to improve federal science. The pledges anchored a slate of science initiatives that the White House valued at more than $6 billion across government, industry, universities and philanthropy, unveiled at its Science: A New Golden Age summit in Washington.
Nvidia made the largest single commitment, $1 billion, followed by AMD at $500 million and OpenAI at $200 million. Anthropic and Google pledged $150 million each, AMP and Emerald AI $100 million each, and AWS, Armada, Crusoe and Micron $50 million apiece, according to the White House.
The White House said the commitments, which it listed as tools and compute credits for the Genesis Mission Consortium, will support more than 15 federal agencies working on what it calls National Science and Technology Challenges. The program expanded to those agencies in July alongside a $5 billion federal commitment for challenges in energy, health, space and other fields. The Genesis Mission itself launched in November 2025 through the Energy Department.
Nvidia said its share is valued at $1 billion over five years and will go toward support for university research institutions, investments in quantum computing and support for cloud service providers that serve government missions. "With a $1 billion investment, NVIDIA is putting advanced Super Intelligence in the hands of America's scientists to accelerate breakthroughs in medicine, energy and materials," said Jensen Huang, the company's founder and chief executive. The company also said it is a collaborator on a number of phase 2 Genesis Mission awards announced at the event, including projects in quantum computing, fusion, accelerator design and microelectronics.
The Next Web, citing Bloomberg, noted that it was unclear how the pledged computing power would be set aside for scientists, since the companies issuing the credits sell the same machine time to customers paying commercial rates. The White House fact sheet does not say how the credits will be allocated among agencies or researchers.
Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, framed the day in historic terms. "Today marks the most transformative day for the American scientific enterprise since the reshaping of the Federal research ecosystem following World War II," he said, adding that the efforts "will channel billions of dollars across our science ecosystem." The summit grew out of Science: A New Golden Age, a report Kratsios wrote for President Trump in response to the president's directive to revitalize the American scientific enterprise. It was released in July.
Other parts of the package are meant to make advanced computing more widely available to researchers across the country. More than 14 universities in 10 states launched a Southeast Regional SI Computing Consortium to build and share research computing; universities, industry and the State of Georgia announced a $1 billion investment in scientific computing and workforce training; and five universities in North and South Carolina formed a regional computing hub. The National Science Foundation and the Energy Department announced more than $100 million for new scientific instruments and autonomous laboratories.
Several announcements were aimed at students and young researchers. The administration launched the Genesis Mission Fellowship, a $100 million initiative for accelerated four-year doctorates that combine what the White House calls super intelligence with another science or engineering discipline, along with research experience in industry and at an Energy Department national laboratory. It revived the NSF Young Scholars Program, which the White House said had been abandoned in 1996, to support students in grades 3 through 12 on the basis of demonstrated mathematics ability, with funding primarily from philanthropy. A new program called Generation Discovery will bring a hundred early-career scientists into the National Institutes of Health's Intramural Research Program.
The White House also pointed to what it calls national missions. NASA and the Energy Department formalized a partnership on space nuclear power that covers Space Reactor-1, a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars expected to launch in 2028, and Lunar Reactor-1, which the White House described as the first fission reactor on the lunar surface. The Energy Department announced eight priority problems to guide a $215 million quantum computing competition that will fund teams trying to show the first fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of scientifically relevant work. And this week, the NIH, the Energy Department and Biohub launched a $1.8 billion virtual biology initiative to build the data and models needed to simulate cells.
At the same summit, Trump presented National Medals of Science to Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Jensen Huang and Lisa Su, and National Medals of Technology and Innovation to Michael Dell and Satya Nadella.
