    OpenAI commits $17M to U.S. DOE science mission

    OpenAI just committed $17 million in resources to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, aiming to double national research productivity within a decade. The pledge includes $4 million in Codex access for 2,000 scientists, targeted support for high-temperature superconductors, and deploying reasoning models on the Venado supercomputer. Why it matters: OpenAI is embedding frontier models directly into federal scientific infrastructure to compress decades of research into years.

    OpenAI takes frontier AI into the wet lab

    OpenAI just teamed up with Los Alamos National Laboratory to test how multimodal AI models perform inside real-world bioscience labs. The evaluation puts voice and vision capabilities to the test on wet-lab tasks like cell culture and genetic transformation, measuring how much AI assists novices and experts alike. Why it matters: Assessing dual-use biological risks in hands-on environments is becoming a critical front in frontier AI safety.
