vivo OriginOS AI History

A China-source history separating OriginOS system foundations from confirmed BlueLM, Xiao V, proactive-service, memory, and task-execution changes.

6 formal versionsOfficial sources prioritized

Timeline scope: The formal sequence covers six OriginOS generations from the first OriginOS release through OriginOS 6. The second generation keeps its official OriginOS Ocean name and appears in the second chronological position.

Evidence levels show how strongly the currently linked material supports a record. They do not rate product quality or general availability.

System lineage

OriginOS followed FuntouchOS on vivo phones, but is not treated as a name-only change

vivo introduced OriginOS as a new mobile operating system after its earlier FuntouchOS phone software. This history starts with OriginOS, keeps the predecessor as context only, and does not reduce the transition to a direct rename.

OriginOS 3

Intelligent computing for sustained fluency

Nov 8, 2022

OriginOS 3 added an intelligent computing center focused on resource scheduling, memory management, and sustained system fluency.

New in this version

Sustained-fluency foundation

The intelligent computing center coordinated lower-level scheduling and memory work to support system fluency; the selected source presents it as a performance foundation, not a named user-facing AI addition. [1]

AI milestone not confirmed

The selected official sources do not confirm a version-level AI change for this release.

Compared with the previous version

OriginOS 3 shifted the main release emphasis from Ocean's interaction redesign toward lower-level computing, memory, and fluency foundations without a confirmed version-level AI addition in the selected record. [2][1]

OriginOS 4–6: BlueLM to proactive execution

The selected China records document BlueLM, system-wide Xiao V, multimodal context, proactive services, memory, intent recognition, and supported one-step execution.

Launch introductionEvidence · High

OriginOS 4

BlueLM and system-wide Xiao V

Nov 1, 2023

OriginOS 4 introduced vivo's BlueLM model family and brought BlueLM-powered Xiao V capabilities into the system.

New in this version

BlueLM model family

vivo introduced BlueLM as a model matrix spanning general, task-specific, cloud, and on-device deployment paths. [1]

System-wide Xiao V

The release connected BlueLM to Xiao V for natural conversation, information processing, and system assistance. [1]

Search, summary, and content creation

vivo described natural-language search across local files and photos together with summary, writing, and image-generation assistance. [1]

Compared with the previous version

Unlike the selected OriginOS 3 material, OriginOS 4 explicitly introduced a named model family and system-wide assistant capabilities for language, search, summary, and creation. [2][1]

OriginOS 5

Multimodal context, proactive services and memory

Oct 10, 2024

OriginOS 5 expanded Xiao V into multimodal screen context, proactive service suggestions, content memory, and cross-device assistance.

New in this version

Xiao V could work from selected onscreen text or images through long-press, search, and circle-style interactions. [1]

Proactive services

Atomic Island used intent recognition to surface relevant services and actions around current tasks. [1]

Memory and productivity assistance

The release described Xiao V memory, transcription, writing, time-clip organization, and assistance that could extend across supported vivo devices. [1]

How to read this history

  • This history uses selected official vivo China pages and does not describe overseas FuntouchOS or global rollout behavior.
  • Feature access can vary by device, system subversion, application version, account, staged rollout, and later product changes.
  • vivo's release descriptions are vendor claims, not independent product tests or proof that every listed capability worked identically on every supported device.
  • A capability is labeled as an AI change only when the selected official release material identifies a version-level AI feature; general intelligent-experience wording is not treated as sufficient evidence.
