Overview

• OpenAI announced a partnership with U.S. National Laboratories to deploy its o-series AI models for scientific research and national security initiatives.
• The models will be installed on the Venado supercomputer, powered by Nvidia and Hewlett-Packard technology, and placed on a secure, classified network for use by researchers from Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia National Labs.
• Key applications include enhancing nuclear weapons security, detecting cyber and biological threats, protecting the U.S. power grid, and advancing research in mathematics, physics, and disease prevention.
• OpenAI will provide researchers holding security clearances to consult on nuclear security projects aimed at reducing the risk of nuclear war and securing nuclear materials globally.
• This partnership follows the launch of ChatGPT Gov, a specialized AI platform for U.S. government agencies designed to handle sensitive information securely.
