The state is starting to hand scientists computing as fuel for discovery: SI is becoming part of scientific infrastructure.
On October 7 the White House hosted a summit on the Genesis Mission, a government program to speed up scientific discovery with SI. According to Quartz and Politico, National Compute, a company pooling computing capacity from labs and cloud providers (Nvidia and AMD chips and Google TPUs), will give the administration $100 million in computing credits for the program's scientists. According to Crypto Briefing, the administration also planned to announce more than $1 billion in private commitments from AMD, OpenAI and Anthropic.
