Anthropic commits $150M to US Genesis Mission
Anthropic announced a $150 million commitment over three years to the US Genesis Mission, a federal initiative to accelerate scientific discovery through AI. The funding will provide Claude, Claude Code, and API credits to over 15 federal agencies, including NASA, NIH, and NSF, and support hundreds of research projects. The announcement was made at the White House's 'Science: A New Golden Age Summit'. This builds on a prior partnership with the US Department of Energy, which has already deployed Claude in national laboratories. The commitment includes training, onboarding, and technical support for scientists, and prioritizes areas such as fusion energy and quantum computing.
This is a major investment by a leading AI company into government-backed scientific research, signaling strong demand for AI tools in public sector applications and potentially expanding the use of AI agents in scientific workflows.

Anthropic launches Claude Science research platform
Anthropic announced Claude Science, a new AI workbench designed to support all phases of scientific research by bundling tools for literature analysis, multi-step studies, code, figures and manuscript drafting. The platform provides native access to more than 60 specialized databases, supports connections to external models, datasets and pipelines, and lets users save reusable "Skills" for future sessions. To improve reproducibility, Claude Science attaches the exact code and execution environment, a plain-language description and the full conversation history to generated figures. Anthropic says development began in October 2025. Early testers, including Professor Stephen Francis of the UCSF Brain Tumor Center, reported roughly tenfold faster analyses. The beta is available to Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise customers; Anthropic is offering up to $30,000 in credits to 50 research projects, with applications open until 15 July 2026.
Anthropic invests $100 million to train AI engineers
Anthropic has launched the Claude Frontier Academy with a $100 million investment to train 10,000 'frontier deployed engineers' (FDEs) by the end of 2027. The program, which includes a multi-day in-person session and a 12-week residency where engineers work on real Claude use cases, aims to bridge the enterprise AI talent gap. The first cohorts include engineers from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, and Novo Nordisk. Successful participants will earn the Claude Frontier Deployed Engineer badge, with first certifications expected in early 2027. This initiative builds on the Claude Partner Network, which has already certified over 175,000 professionals, and comes amid reports of Anthropic's potential IPO seeking a $2 trillion valuation despite significant operating losses.
