Nothing CEO Carl Pei has officially announced that the company is preparing to launch its first "AI-native" device in December.
Pei emphasized in a post on X that this upcoming product is a tool designed with the personality and care characteristic of Nothing, but it comes with a specific limitation: it has no new screen and couldn’t have been an app.
The announcement included an image displaying the "NOTHING(R)" branding above an ambiguous black rounded shape, fueling speculation about the product's form factor.
Previous industry rumors had suggested Nothing was repositioning itself as an AI-first company, potentially expanding into AI accessories like camera-less smart glasses, though Pei kept the exact nature of the device vague.
This launch adds to the growing list of screen-free AI gadgets, such as the Humane AI pin and the Friend, a space that also includes OpenAI's rumored collaboration with Jony Ive on a smart speaker.
Discussing the broader market trend, Pei pointed out that while the industry is currently hunting for an "iPhone moment" for AI, specifically looking for a magical consumer device like a pendant or glasses, he concluded that searching for an exact "iPhone of AI" is ultimately a dead end.
