A Visual Overview to the Rabbit AI Pocket Companion
This week, Rabbit CEO and Founder Jesse Lyu announced the new Rabbit R1 pocket companion. The R1 is an AI-powered device with the aim of creating a new computer that you can talk to and that will understand you.
Rabbit OS is the software that drives the experience. You can push to talk to the R1, asking questions like you would type in Chat GPT. Lyu says in the keynote that the Rabbit OS and the R1 will respond in 500 milliseconds, about 10 times faster than most LLM-based interfaces. The core of the R1 is built on Rabbit’s LAM, or large action model, which will allow users to interact with all kinds of applications and services. Users will need to log into the web portal, which Rabbit has named the Rabbit Hole. Once users have added services, they can interact with them through the R1.
The Rabbit R1 has a beautiful analog look and feel due to the design created by Teenage Engineering. It has an analog scroll wheel, a push-to-talk button, and a 360-degree rotating camera. The camera, called the Rabbit Eye, can analyze your surroundings and take action in real time. In the keynote, the camera recognizes a poster of the singer Rick Astley and then plays his song “Never Gonna Give You Up” via Spotify.
The Rabbit R1 looks like an evolution of AI-powered devices in the future ahead of us all.
