Exclusive: Inside Trump's AI science summit
President Trump will attend a summit Thursday meant to empower scientists and position the U.S. as a leader in breakthroughs driven by "super intelligence," according to an announcement shared first with Axios. Why it matters: The Trump administration is looking for industry to step in amid its cuts to government funding for science research and development. Driving the news: The White House is…
President Donald Trump's administration will receive $100 million in compute credits from National Compute, as reported by POLITICO's Sophia Cai and Business Insider's Katie Roof. The donation aims to provide scientific researchers with access to computing power that smaller labs and companies struggle to obtain. The credits will be utilized to advance scientific discovery through the Genesis mission, a government-wide initiative to leverage AI for accelerating scientific breakthroughs.
The donation will enable Genesis Mission researchers to access advanced computing resources at a time when smaller entities face challenges in securing such capacity. Major providers often favor long-term contracts with leading AI labs, creating disparities in access to computing power. National Compute is developing the National Compute Grid, a network that pools computing capacity from various providers, making it accessible to researchers, companies, and government agencies.
The project's draft paper, reviewed by POLITICO, draws a parallel between the grid and the power grid or interstate highway system, describing it as a shared network connecting isolated resources.
