Nothing teases a screen-free AI device ahead of launch next month

Nothing 在下个月发布前预告了一款无屏幕 AI 设备

CEO Carl Pei says Nothing’s first ‘AI-native’ device ‘couldn’t have been an app.’

Nothing 首席执行官 Carl Pei 表示，Nothing 的首款“AI 原生”设备“不可能是个应用程序”。

Nothing CEO Carl Pei said in a post on X that the company’s launching its first AI device in December. That’s just a little over a year after Pei announced plans for “AI-native” devices and an AI operating system. He didn’t give away much about what exactly the new device is, only that one feature it won’t have is a screen: “Our first AI-native product ships next month. It’s a tool, but one built with the personality and care that have come to define a Nothing product. It has no new screen, and it couldn’t have been an app.”

Nothing 首席执行官 Carl Pei 在 X 上发文称，该公司将于 12 月推出其首款 AI 设备。这距离 Pei 宣布“AI 原生”设备和 AI 操作系统的计划仅过去了一年多。他并未透露这款新设备究竟是什么，只提到它不会具备的一项功能是屏幕：“我们的首款 AI 原生产品将于下个月出货。它是一个工具，但其构建过程融入了定义 Nothing 产品的个性和关怀。它没有屏幕，也不可能是一个应用程序。”

Pei shared an image with the post that says “NOTHING(R)” in the top left corner, above an ambiguous black rounded corner. Last month, a rumor claimed Nothing is planning to launch two pairs of AI smart glasses, including one without cameras, and an earlier rumor said it’s “repositioning itself as an AI-first company” with a shift to AI accessories.

Pei 在帖子中分享了一张图片，图片左上角写着“NOTHING(R)”，下方是一个模糊的黑色圆角。上个月有传言称，Nothing 计划推出两款 AI 智能眼镜，其中包括一款不带摄像头的眼镜；更早之前的传言则称，该公司正通过转向 AI 配件，将自己“重新定位为一家 AI 优先的公司”。

Nothing’s AI device wouldn’t be the first screen-free AI gadget, following the likes of the Humane AI pin, the Friend, and even AI stuffed animals. OpenAI is also reportedly working on an AI smart speaker with Jony Ive. Pei alluded to earlier AI devices, saying, “the whole industry is hunting for its iPhone moment: the pendant, the pin, the glasses, the companion, some magical consumer device that makes AI part of everyone’s life.” He added, “Looking for the iPhone of AI today is a dead end.”

Nothing 的这款 AI 设备并非首款无屏幕 AI 小工具，此前已有 Humane AI pin、Friend 甚至 AI 毛绒玩具等产品。据报道，OpenAI 也正在与 Jony Ive 合作开发一款 AI 智能音箱。Pei 提到了早期的 AI 设备，并表示：“整个行业都在寻找属于自己的‘iPhone 时刻’：吊坠、胸针、眼镜、伴侣，某种能让 AI 融入每个人生活的神奇消费设备。”他补充道：“在今天寻找 AI 时代的 iPhone 是死胡同。”
