Anthropic announced a $150 million investment over three years in Trump's Genesis Project, providing Claude to over 15 federal agencies involved in the program, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.

The commitment will be announced at the Science New Golden Age Summit hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington. The company specified that over the next three years, it will provide Claude, Claude Code, and interface credits to hundreds of Genesis Project research initiatives, collaborating with agencies and national laboratories on government-listed priorities, including fusion energy and quantum computing. Additional training, onboarding, and technical support will help new agencies run their initial projects.

This is not the first investment. On December 18, 2025, Anthropic announced a multi-year collaboration with the Department of Energy, focusing on energy, life sciences, and research productivity, potentially covering 17 national laboratories in the U.S. The company later stated that it had delivered Claude to scientists at various laboratories through the Department of Energy. This time, the same collaboration is being expanded from the Department of Energy laboratories to include space, health, and science funding.

The Genesis Project itself was initiated by an executive order in November 2025, led by the Department of Energy, using federal scientific data, supercomputing, and automated experimental platforms for AI research. In July 2026, the White House announced a federal commitment of over $5 billion for the program, with participation from over 15 agencies. On the same day at the summit, the Department of Energy also announced 12 second-phase project awards totaling $159 million.

The $150 million is in the form of models, programming tools, and interface credits, not a cash allocation to the treasury. Researchers can use Claude in conversations or utilize credits to integrate it into their own software. The government side already has Claude for Government, operating in a FedRAMP High environment, charging based on usage with a hard cap.

The buyers are federal laboratories and agency projects receiving credits, while the seller is Anthropic's model usage. The event is driven by the scientific program subscriptions at the summit, not by a price reduction of the models. Funding enters the space, health, science funding, and Department of Energy projects in the form of credits, with priorities listed as fusion and quantum. Beneficiaries are the hundreds of projects receiving Claude and coding tools, while other model suppliers competing for the same federal research budget face pressure.
