President Donald Trump has issued an executive order establishing the Genesis Mission, an initiative led by the Department of Energy to create a centralized artificial‑intelligence platform. The platform will aggregate decades‑long federal, academic, and private‑sector data sets for training scientific foundation models, automating research workflows, and accelerating breakthroughs. It will link the nation’s most advanced supercomputers, AI systems, quantum resources, and scientific instruments, including two sovereign AI supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory built by Hewlett Packard Enterprises and powered by AMD chips. Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil directs the effort, which must identify initial data assets within four months and demonstrate operating capability for at least one national challenge within nine months, focusing on nuclear and fusion energy, grid modernization, and advanced AI for national‑security applications.

Kraken originated as Octopus’s internal demo client, now serving millions of households in the UK and abroad, and integrates AI models to balance renewable energy on the grid while offering flexible tariffs that encourage customers to shift usage to periods of surplus supply.
