Anthropic says it will commit $150 million over three years to extend Claude tools and technical support to several hundred research projects in the U.S. government's Genesis Mission, a federal effort to use AI in science.
The plan would make Claude, Claude Code and API credits available to projects across more than 15 agencies, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Anthropic also says it will provide training and onboarding, support work on priorities such as fusion energy and quantum computing, and help agencies start new projects.
The commitment builds on Anthropic's partnership with the Department of Energy, announced in December 2025. The company says it has since worked to bring Claude to scientists across national laboratories. The new plan expands its offer to other agencies participating in the Genesis Mission.
A White House fact sheet places Anthropic's pledge within $2.4 billion in science AI tools and compute-credit commitments from 11 industry partners. It lists NVIDIA at $1 billion, AMD at $500 million, OpenAI at $200 million, and Google and Anthropic at $150 million each. The White House describes these as commitments; the figures do not establish how much has been spent or which tools are already in use.
Neither announcement names the participating projects or breaks down Anthropic's commitment among model access, API credits, training and technical support. The plan describes intended access, not completed research or measured scientific gains.
