- Gemini for Government seats and tokens provided to DOE labs
Tens of thousands of users across DOE National Laboratories will receive Gemini for Government seats and tokens for one year. This secure platform aims to support research, operations, and management, serving as a secure foundation for DOE missions.
- AlphaEvolve accelerates mathematical system exploration
Senior scientist Dr. Henry Kvinge at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is using AlphaEvolve to map complex mathematical systems, automating the exploration of mathematical angles and fast-tracking discoveries that would typically take years.
- Gemini enhances autonomous materials discovery
Researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies are using Gemini to improve physical laboratory hardware interaction, reducing microscope calibration time by eight times and manual image focusing steps significantly, enabling autonomous workflows.
