Gaia Labs announced the release of an AI phone on September 2, 2025, built on a customized version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The devices main feature is complete autonomy and privacy: all AI operations are performed locally on the phone without sending data to cloud services. This is achieved through a powerful processor and a decentralized architecture where phones can form a peer-to-peer network. The device is aimed at the Web3 audience and privacy enthusiasts. Gaia Labs is also introducing a crypto-reward system: users will receive tokens for contributing to the networks development, such as by providing computing resources. The company has opened pre-orders starting at $1,399, with deliveries promised for late 2025. This launch challenges the dominant cloud-based AI model from Google and Apple, offering the market an alternative focused on user data sovereignty.
