DeepMind, Google Cloud give 200 European researchers access to science AI models
Google DeepMind and Google Cloud said they will give up to 200 European scientific researchers direct access to their frontier AI models plus $3 million in compute credits, delivered through the EU's RAISE programme. The models include AlphaFold 3 for predicting the structure of proteins and other molecules, the weather-forecasting model WeatherNext, DNA-focused AlphaGenome, the algorithm-designing agent AlphaEvolve and AlphaEarth Foundations, which maps the planet from satellite data. Google did not say how researchers will be selected, when access will begin, or how the credits will be divided among them.
It shows frontier labs competing for Europe's research ecosystem through donated models and compute, addressing a capacity gap European scientists have long flagged.
Up to 200 European researchers will get direct access to Google’s most advanced science AI models, plus $3 million in computing credits, Google said today. The offer comes from its AI lab, Google DeepMind, and its cloud arm, Google Cloud.
The models include AlphaFold 3, which predicts the structure of proteins and other molecules, and WeatherNext, which forecasts the weather.
Researchers will also get AlphaGenome, which studies DNA, AlphaEvolve, an AI agent that designs algorithms, and AlphaEarth Foundations, which maps the planet from satellite data.
