Today’s AI Daily Brief asks when artificial intelligence will begin making real scientific discoveries. We look at Periodic Labs, which just raised more than $300 million to build AI scientists and autonomous labs for physics and chemistry, and Thinking Machines, which is creating tools to democratize custom model training. These efforts highlight a shift from consumer apps toward AI as a scientific instrument, arriving alongside early reports that models like GPT-5 are already generating small but novel breakthroughs. In headlines, the U.S. government blasts China’s DeepSeek models, Apple pivots from Vision Pro to smart glasses, Amazon refreshes Alexa devices with custom AI chips, and Meta plans to target ads based on chatbot interactions.
