Oklo Inc. has entered into a collaboration with NVIDIA and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to advance nuclear fuel validation and AI‑enabled research. The partnership will combine Oklo’s advanced nuclear technology with NVIDIA’s AI expertise and LANL’s research capabilities to support the development of nuclear‑powered AI factories and to accelerate the company’s Aurora fast‑reactor platform.
The collaboration focuses on critical nuclear infrastructure, digital twins, modeling, and simulation to speed fuel R&D and validate nuclear technologies for AI applications. By leveraging NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and LANL’s scientific resources, Oklo aims to shorten the development timeline for its Aurora platform and strengthen its position in the growing market for AI‑enabled data centers.
The partnership also supports the federal government’s Genesis Mission, which seeks to build critical nuclear infrastructure and resilient power for mission‑critical applications. Oklo’s CEO Jacob DeWitte said, “This agreement brings together reactor deployment, high‑performance compute, and world‑class fuel and materials science expertise. We believe this will advance our plutonium‑bearing fuel work on Oklo’s Pluto reactor, which was selected under DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program, and help bring resilient power in support of the Genesis Mission.”
The collaboration will advance Oklo’s plutonium‑bearing fuel work on its Pluto reactor and accelerate the Aurora fast‑reactor platform, which is expected to achieve criticality at Idaho National Laboratory by July 4, 2026. The partnership positions Oklo at the intersection of advanced nuclear technology and AI, potentially opening new markets for clean, carbon‑free energy to power AI workloads.
The partnership is a significant strategic step for Oklo, expanding its customer and partner base to include a leading AI company and a national laboratory. It signals a growing trend of integrating AI into the nuclear energy sector and could accelerate the deployment of nuclear‑powered AI factories, providing a tailwind for Oklo’s long‑term growth strategy.
