Nothing unveils first AI-native device without a screen in December
Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei announced on X that the company will launch its first AI device in December. The product will lack a screen, aligning with Pei’s earlier statement that it ‘couldn’t have been an app.’ Pei emphasized the device’s ‘personality and care,’ mirroring Nothing’s brand identity, but did not disclose further specifics.
Key points
- Nothing’s first AI-native device launches December 2026 with no screen, per CEO Carl Pei
- Pei calls it a ‘tool’ with ‘personality and care,’ but no details on features or pricing shared
- Rumors suggest AI smart glasses (including camera-less) may also launch, per industry reports
The announcement follows months of rumors about Nothing’s pivot toward AI-first hardware. Last month, reports suggested the company planned to release AI smart glasses, including a camera-less variant. Pei also referenced broader industry efforts to create a ‘pendant, pin, or glasses’ device that makes AI ubiquitous, though he dismissed the search for an ‘iPhone of AI’ as misguided. The device arrives amid competition from other screen-free AI gadgets, such as the Humane AI pin and AI-powered stuffed animals, as well as OpenAI’s reportedly upcoming AI smart speaker designed with Jony Ive.
