The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) inference service designed to help researchers accelerate scientific discovery by providing cloud-like access to advanced AI models running on Argonne’s high-performance computing systems. The newly launched ALCF Inference Service is powered by Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) systems.

The Department of Energy (DOE) is putting new leadership in place to guide its Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER). CESER leads DOE’s efforts to strengthen the security and resilience of U.S. energy infrastructure “against all threats and hazards,” according to the agency’s website, along with carrying out DOE’s statutory role as the sector risk management agency for the U.S.  energy sector.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) on May 27 announced the launch of its NSF Tech Accelerators initiative, a new effort designed to help move emerging “deep-tech” research from laboratories into scalable, market-ready technologies. The program will establish a network of NSF Tech Accelerators focused on underfunded deep-technology areas, with the accelerators providing support for research teams working on early-stage technology development.
