The partnership was first announced last December

Anthropic first announced a partnership with the United States Department of Energy and the Genesis Mission last December. Since then, the company says it has worked with the department to bring Claude to scientists across the national laboratories. It announced the new commitment at a summit hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington, DC.

The commitment follows Anthropic’s launch of Claude Science, an AI workbench for researchers, and its offer of 10,000 free and discounted Claude seats for academic scientists earlier this year. Anthropic says it will provide the Genesis Mission tools, credits and support over the next three years.
