Accelerating the frontiers of scientific discovery: Google’s $40M commitment to the Genesis Mission

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.

The Genesis Mission represents an opportunity to transform research and science across America. By providing access to advanced AI tools, we aim to help scientists accelerate breakthroughs across critical energy, security, and scientific challenges. To learn more about how these AI capabilities can support your research initiatives, join us at the upcoming Google Public Sector Summit in October.

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:

Second, we will provide Gemini for Government seats and tokens for one year to tens of thousands of users across the DOE National Laboratories’ operations, research, and management teams. This secure platform supports the full breadth of work from the research bench to the administration of specialized user facilities serving the entire scientific community, providing a single secure foundation that the DOE mission can depend on.

While we have a lot of work still to do, the practical impact of the Genesis Mission is already coming to life across the laboratory ecosystem.
