At CES 2024 , AI was everywhere. From smart home devices to smartphones, robots to TVs, cars to computers – everyone wants a piece of the AI pie. Enter Rabbit Inc., a Santa Monica-based AI startup that launched a pocket-sized mobile device called the Rabbit R1. R1 is a self-contained handheld device that is controlled by natural language. It has a touchscreen, a push-to-talk button, an analog scroll wheel, a microphone for voice commands, speakers for feedback, and a 360-degree rotating PC camera called Rabbit Eye. It runs on a MediaTek Helio P35 processor and has 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a USB-C port, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a 4G SIM card slot.
So what exactly does it do? The Fax Lists demo on the startup's website makes it look good, but in reality, the R1 is based on a Large Action Model (LAM) operating system called Rabbit OS. It helps the device navigate through all your apps and helps you use them faster than a regular smartphone. The company claims that its foundational model can learn the intent and behavior of users when using specific apps and then mimic them reliably and quickly. For example, you can pair Spotify with the R1 to not only play music using voice commands, but you can also ask the AI to perform contextual tasks, such as playing other songs from the same album. You can ask R1 who wrote the lyrics, who composed the music, who sampled the song, etc. It's similar to chatting with ChatGPT, but the company claims the R1's responses are much faster.
For connected apps like Uber, you can ask R1 to book a ride for you from your office to your home, saving you the multiple steps you'd otherwise have to go through to book a cab yourself. performs in one step. a smartphone app. You can even give a command like "find me an Uber that fits me and my six friends" and the R1 will order an UberXL instead of a regular Uber. "Rabbit is now building on AI-powered intuitive experience without programming. Large language models such as ChatGPT have shown the possibility of understanding natural language with AI; our large action model takes it a step further: it not only interprets text in response to human input generates, but generates actions on behalf of users to help us get things done,” said Rabbit Founder and CEO Jesse Liu. The Rabbit R1 is available for sale now for $199.
