Rabbit R1 AI Device: Price, How to Buy and What Does it Do?

We have good news for every early adopter out there.

The much-anticipated Rabbit R-1 artificial intelligence (AI)-powered device is now available to pre-order. Developed by Santa Monica-based startup Rabbit, the gadget’s shipment will start by the end of March. 

If you have not kept in touch with the latest tech news and gadgets, then you need not worry; we are here to help.

To sum up, last week, Samsung Electronics unveiled its premium S24 series with Samsung’s own generative AI, Galaxy AI. 

And a new AI gadget is making waves in the tech world. This AI device, made by startup Rabbit, is called Rabbit R-1, and it can potentially do anything, from calling an Uber to ordering a pizza. Let’s have an in-depth look at Rabbit R-1. 

What is Rabbit R-1?

Shaped like an orange-colored walkie-talkie, the Rabbit R-1 is an AI gadget developed by a tech startup called Rabbit. Unlike popular belief, it is not a smartphone but a compact device that can fit in your pockets. It links to mobile applications and carries out different tasks for you. It employs its language model along with natural language commands to understand your inputs and carry out the tasks accordingly.

From arranging cabs and taxis and handling home chores to answering your calls and ordering food, Rabbit R-1 can do multiple things at once. It is powered by the Rabbit OS. 

Rabbit R-1 is based on the research paper “learning human actions on computer applications” which says, “We have developed a system that can infer and model human actions on computer applications, perform the actions reliably and quickly, and is well-suited for deployment in various AI assistants and operating systems. Our system is called the Large Action Model (LAM). Enabled by recent advances in neuro-symbolic programming, the LAM allows for the direct modeling of the structure of various applications and user actions performed on them without a transitory representation, such as text. The LAM system achieves results competitively with state-of-the-art approaches in terms of accuracy, interpretability, and speed. Engineering the LAM architecture involves overcoming both research challenges and engineering complexities, from real-time communication to virtual network computing technologies. We hope that our efforts could help shape the next generation of natural-language-driven consumer experiences.

What does the Rabbit R-1 do?

Rabbit R-1 is part of the Large Action Model (LAM) family. LAM explained on the Rabbit R-1 website, “The Large Action Model is the cornerstone of rabbit OS. LAM is a new type of foundation model that understands human intentions on computers. With LAM, rabbit OS understands what you say and gets things done.” Rabbit R-1 is here to make your everyday life easier. It can do an array of things, from making dinner reservations at your favorite restaurant to editing images and videos in Photoshop. 

It also has a button for the push-to-talk function, an adjustable camera that rotates all the way, a distant-field microphone, and a scroll wheel of analog type. It also has a slot for a SIM card, along with Wi-Fi and cellular network connections, so you can make telephone calls with it.

You can easily control your engagement with Rabbit OS by using the Rabbit Hole, a unified web portal. It combines services such as Spotify and offers a direct approach to listening to your preferred songs on the gadget.

Not only this, but you can also teach your Rabbit to carry out certain tasks using the teach mode. All you need to do is record particular actions, describe them with your voice, and guide the rabbit OS. The LAM will understand it and then modify itself for different situations.

Rabbit R-1 is currently priced at US $199. This AI-assistant device comes in an orange color and has a retro look. Here are its overall specifications:
