Anthropic announced a $150 million commitment over three years to the Genesis Mission, a federal initiative aimed at accelerating scientific and technological discovery through artificial intelligence. The funding will expand access to the company's Claude models to more than 15 agencies participating in the mission, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.
The announcement builds on an earlier partnership with the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Genesis Mission, first disclosed last December. Since then, Anthropic says it has worked with the DOE to bring Claude to scientists across the national laboratories. The new commitment was unveiled at the Science: A New Golden Age Summit, hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington, DC.
Over the next three years, Anthropic plans to provide Claude, Claude Code, and API credits to several hundred Genesis Mission research projects. The company will also partner with agencies and national laboratories on top science priorities, including fusion energy and quantum computing, and offer training, onboarding, and technical support to scientists on mission projects.
The move is part of a broader push into scientific research. Earlier this year, Anthropic launched Claude Science, an AI workbench integrating tools commonly used by researchers, and opened 10,000 free and discounted Claude seats for academic scientists. It also expanded its AI for Science program and began a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard, a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate lab instruments.
Separately, Anthropic said it is launching an expanded version of its Cyber Verification Program, which makes advanced cyber capabilities and reduced blocking classifiers available to qualifying security professionals.
