Anthropic commits $150M to the Genesis Mission science initiative
Anthropic says it will commit $150 million over three years to the Genesis Mission, a US federal initiative to speed scientific and technological discovery with AI, making Claude, Claude Code and API credits available to more than 15 participating agencies including NASA, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, plus training and technical support for hundreds of research projects. The pledge was announced at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's "Science: A New Golden Age" summit and follows Anthropic's December partnership with the US Department of Energy and the Genesis Mission. Anthropic also pointed to Claude Science, its research workbench, which was used to produce the first complete ultraviolet map of the sky, a project led by Johns Hopkins astrophysicist Brice Ménard with AI agents handling data merging and gap-filling.
It is a concrete example of an AI company embedding funding and model access inside government-funded science, and of agentic tooling being applied to real research pipelines.
