Advancing the next era of national science

PUBLISHER ARTICLE PREVIEW

From the original article

American leadership has always been driven by scientific leadership. The technologies behind economic growth, national security, and better lives—from energy and computing to medicine, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing—begin with the ability to discover, build, and deploy.

Frontier AI can expand that ability. It can help compress decades of scientific progress into years, strengthen the institutions behind American innovation, and give researchers new capacity to solve problems once considered out of reach.

OpenAI is committed to bringing these capabilities to American science. We are working with the U.S. government, National Laboratories, universities, and researchers to connect frontier models with the people, supercomputers, simulations, and facilities that make American science exceptional.

Our goal is to help scientists explore more ideas, test hypotheses faster, and move from insight to validated results more quickly. That requires pairing frontier models with the tools, workflows, expertise, and infrastructure of research environments, turning AI from tool to national strategic scientific infrastructure.

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission⁠, OpenAI will support participating researchers through broad access, frontier capabilities, technical collaboration, and focused scientific campaigns. We will:

Provide $4 million in Codex access to approximately 2,000 Genesis researchers at National Laboratories and universities, bringing advanced coding and reasoning capabilities into their daily work.

Commit $3 million in API support to two large-scale scientific campaigns testing frontier models against major
