Under the order, the Department of Energy will build a platform with AI capabilities for scientists and engineers to use in their work. It would also create a portfolio of scientific and engineering challenges around energy and national security for Genesis Mission participants to pursue. Other departments and agencies will be able to tackle their own challenges - such as around drug discovery - through the executive order.

AMD has sealed a $1 billion deal with the US Department of Energy to develop two supercomputers, Lux and Discovery, in collaboration with Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). Both supercomputers will live at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Lux is slated to come online fairly soon in early 2026, with Discovery following in 2029. Both build on the work that went into the Frontier supercomputer,

His track record of building partnerships led to the creation of the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation and the U.S. Federal Consortium on Advanced Batteries, among other notable achievements. As CALSTART embarks on its new chapter, Berube will focus on driving initiatives aimed at solidifying the role of new affordable and clean transportation options for consumers and businesses through close industry partnerships.

The safety criteria in the program would examine multiple intrinsic components of a given advanced AI system, such as the data upon which it is trained and the model weights used to process said data into outputs. Some of the program's testing components would include red-teaming an AI model to search for vulnerabilities and facilitating third-party evaluations. These evaluations will culminate in both feedback to participating developers as well as informing future AI regulations, specifically the permanent evaluation framework developed by the Energy secretary.

Faced with a lawsuit, the administration of US President Donald Trump has disbanded a panel of five well-known critics of climate science who issued a controversial draft report questioning the evidence underlying global warming. US energy secretary Chris Wright asserted that the group had accomplished its goal in publishing the first draft, which the Department of Energy (DoE) has declined to withdraw. Two of the panel's members told Nature they plan to continue the work independently.

By leveraging DoE land assets for the deployment of AI and energy infrastructure, we are taking a bold step to accelerate the next Manhattan Project - ensuring US AI and energy leadership.
