Nothing has unveiled an AI-native operating system set to offer a tailored experience for each user by 2026. Following the acquisition of $200 million in funding, the firm aims to transform its products. The company recently disclosed securing $200 million in Series C funding, elevating its overall worth to $1.3 billion. CEO Carl Pei outlined intentions to develop AI-native gadgets and an exclusive operating system for future integration into their smartphones. Pei emphasized that their upcoming OS will be notably distinct from existing options and will be highly personalized for users. The innovative system will adapt based on individual needs, with suggestions appearing organically and executing tasks upon confirmation by agents. It is essentially designed to automate mundane phone functions, granting users more time for meaningful activities on their devices. Pei envisions a billion unique operating systems crafted for a billion individuals, highlighting the company’s commitment to harnessing AI’s full capabilities through groundbreaking hardware innovations. The anticipated “AI-OS” is expected to debut on Nothing’s smartphones before expanding to other devices. Additionally, Pei hinted at the potential development of AI-native smart glasses, humanoid robots, EVs, and other cutting-edge tech solutions as part of Nothing’s forward-looking strategy to revolutionize technology integration across various platforms. Emphasizing the fusion of AI experiences with hardware devices, Pei expressed his vision for Nothing in redefining how technology enhances human capabilities. As the company ventures into diverse product categories beyond smartphones, Pei teased an upcoming release of another essential product slated for annual distribution on a massive scale. These new AI-powered devices are poised to capture information through different sensory modalities like voice, vision, and movement, transcending traditional screen-based interactions by translating understanding into actionable insights. The launch of such advanced AI-native gadgets is anticipated as early as 2026. Meanwhile, the current Nothing Phone 3 operates on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, with plans for the release of OS 4.0 later this autumn.
