Santa Monica-based AI startup Rabbit Inc. has unveiled its latest innovation, the Rabbit R1, a groundbreaking consumer AI device. This new product is set to redefine how we interact with technology, moving beyond mere words to actual actions.
Revolutionary Operating System: rabbit OS
The R1 operates on rabbit OS, the first-ever operating system built on Rabbit’s proprietary Large Action Model (LAM). This advanced system is designed to understand and model human actions, enabling it to navigate and perform tasks across various apps efficiently. The R1, priced at $199, is now available for pre-sale, with shipping expected to commence in late March 2024.
Large Action Model (LAM): A Leap in Human-Computer Interaction
LAM stands at the core of the R1, transforming the way AI systems interact with applications. It learns from human behavior, adapting to changes in interfaces and executing tasks without complex integrations. This technology eliminates the need for multiple apps, offering a streamlined, app-free experience.
rabbit OS: Personal AI Agents at Your Service
rabbit OS introduces “rabbits,” personal AI agents capable of handling a wide range of digital tasks. From simple information searches to complex errands like travel planning and online shopping, these agents offer a level of assistance beyond what current voice-based assistants provide.
r1: Intuitive AI Hardware for Everyday Use
Designed in collaboration with Teenage Engineering, the R1 boasts a sleek, retro-inspired look. It features a 2.88-inch touchscreen, a push-to-talk button, a scroll wheel, and the “rabbit eye,” a motorized vision system. The device is lightweight, pocketable, and comes in a striking Luminous Orange color. It includes a 2.3 GHz MediaTek Helio P35 processor, 4 GB of memory, 128 GB of storage, and offers both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.
Privacy and Sustainability: Core Values of Rabbit’s Technology
Rabbit prioritizes user privacy and security, ensuring that all authentication processes occur on the destination services’ systems. The R1’s hardware design reflects a commitment to sustainability and responsible use, featuring a non-intrusive camera and a microphone that only activates upon user command.
