The Trump administration announced Thursday that major technology companies have pledged $2.4 billion in advanced computing resources and artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support scientific research across federal agencies.
The initiative expands the White House’s Genesis Mission, launched through the Department of Energy in November 2025, to an additional 14 federal agencies spanning the energy, health, and space sectors.
The expansion was unveiled during the White House’s Science: A New Golden Age summit, where administration officials outlined efforts to accelerate domestic technological breakthroughs and secure a competitive edge over China.
Semiconductor giant NVIDIA Corp. led the commitments with a $1 billion investment in compute power over the next five years. Other major contributors include Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Inc. with $500 million, OpenAI with $200 million in token discounts and training programs, and Anthropic and Alphabet’s Google, which pledged $150 million each.
Additionally, startup National Compute, a firm pooling computing power from major tech entities, is slated to donate $100 million in computing credits.
“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 NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said in a statement released Thursday.
The surge in private-sector support comes alongside a separate announcement by the Defense Department, which plans to collaborate with the Genesis Mission fellowship to connect academic scholars directly with the Department of Energy.
The summit also highlighted President Trump’s ongoing effort to rebrand artificial intelligence as super intelligence, a term the administration has pushed to counter concerns over AI safety and portray the technology in a more optimistic light. On Thursday, Trump took to Truth Social to double down on the rhetoric, deeming it as a necessary update to modern technical discourse and warning against defeatist attitudes toward technology.
The push reflects a broader strategic strategy by the White House.
Although some industry leaders have advocated for global safety guardrails to mitigate potential risks associated with rapid AI development, President Trump has maintained that slowing progress poses a greater national security threat by risking American leadership to international rivals like China.
With billions in new private compute capabilities now directed toward federal scientific research, the administration aims to leverage Silicon Valley’s hardware and model infrastructure to transform basic research across the executive branch.
