Superalignment Fast Grants	$9.9M
FLI	$5M	Estimated from the grant programs announced in 2024; They don’t have a 2024 grant summary like the one in 2023 yet so this one is uncertain.

Other	$1M
Total	$111.2M

Today I did some analysis of the grant data from 2024 and came up with the figures in the table above. I also updated the spreadsheet and the graph in the post to use the updated values.
