Rabbit R1: The Future of AI<\/h1>\n

January 10, 2024. If you\u2019re keeping an eye on the news from (under) NYC and that one particular Brooklyn synagogue, you\u2019re probably having a thrill ride right now.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep things nice and separated, and instead of \u201crabbi tunnels\u201d, let\u2019s talk about some \u201crabbit tunnels\u201d.<\/p>\n

Down the rabbit tunnel, there\u2019s AI to be found<\/h2>\n

Despite the fact that every year some phones\u2019 specs or features impress us, they don\u2019t seem to blow our heads off. Many people say the phone industry has plateaued and a major breakthrough on either the hardware or software front is mandatory to provoke the broad audience\u2019s attention and affection with the handsets. Much of the said audience is comfortably stuck with mid-rangers that do the job \u201cjust fine\u201d\u2026 or they simply buy flagships they don\u2019t know anything<\/span> about, apart from \u201cit\u2019s cool and expensive\u201d.<\/p>\n

So, the need for something new is real. Foldables, top-notch cameras, or AI: this is what phone makers have been obsessing lately about. Probably the last one is the most important of all, given the fact that Samsung is bragging 24\/7 about the Galaxy S24\u2019s alleged AI capabilities and even Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman had to roast Apple for lagging behind both the South Korean giant, as well as Google and the Pixel 8 series in that field.<\/p>\n

A young dreamer by the name of Jesse Lyu goes a step further and also wants to give you the AI ticket to ride\u2026 minus the smartphone experience.<\/p>\n

Enter the Rabbit R1<\/h2>\n

The Verge is telling the story of Jesse Lyu, who\u2019s the CEO and founder of an AI startup called Rabbit. This company is behind the $199 standalone AI gadget called the R1.<\/p>\n

You can call it a Tamagotchi on steroids, or a Nintendo on weight loss pills, but it\u2019s much more: it boasts a 2.88-inch touchscreen, a rotating camera, a scroll wheel, and a push-to-talk-button on the side. With AI!<\/p>\n

Inside, there\u2019s a 2.3GHz MediaTek processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a battery that the makers say lasts \u201call day\u201d.<\/p>\n

What tricks can the Rabbit R1 do?<\/h2>\n

As the report has it, the real deal is with the R1\u2019s software: it has its own operating system, called Rabbit OS. Instead of LLM (large language model \u2013 ChatGPT-like), the company says the AI capabilities derive from a \u201cLarge Action Model\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

The large action model, or LAM, was trained by humans interacting with apps like Spotify and Uber, essentially showing the model how they work. The LAM learned what a Settings icon looked like, how to know when an order was confirmed, and where the search menus are. All that, Lyu says, can be applied to any app anywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, the Rabbit R1 could potentially be used for many different things, like controlling your music, ordering you a car, buying your groceries, sending your messages, map researching, making reservations, and more, \u201call through a single interface\u201d and giving it voice commands.<\/p>\n

And, as CEO Jesse Lyu says, the Rabbit R1 is a \u201ccompanion\u201d computer, built with the idea of intuitive human-machine interaction at its core.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see what the future holds for this unique Rabbit!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
