Rabbit’s AI-Powered R1 Device: A Revolutionary Approach with rabbitOS

Rabbit, a tech company, has revealed its first smart device, the R1, which utilizes artificial intelligence to perform tasks without the need for any applications. Expected to hit the markets in March at a price of $200, the device operates on the rabbitOS, incorporating the Large Actions Model (LAM) instead of traditional Large Language Models (LLM).

The compact, handheld-sized device features a vertical screen, a button to summon the smart assistant Companion, a 360-degree rotating camera, microphones for clear voice capture, and speakers for crisp audio playback of the personal assistant, music, and calls. Additionally, it includes a navigation button next to the screen, supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and offers 4G/LTE mobile network access through a wireless chip.

Jesse Liu, the company’s founder and CEO, highlighted the key difference between the LAM-based operating system of the device and conventional language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 or Google’s GPT-4. While these models analyze user-inputted data in textual form before processing, providing limited data without actively accomplishing tasks, Rabbit’s LAM model analyzes commands to execute tasks and actions directly, achieving the user’s goals more efficiently.

Liu emphasized that the LAM model outperforms traditional language models, such as ChatGPT, providing responses to user queries in just half a second. The smart assistant in Rabbit’s device focuses on avoiding the issues associated with the application-based systems used in smartphones and smart devices for years. Instead of navigating through multiple applications to complete tasks, the rabbitOS relies on the new intelligent model to understand and analyze what the user wants to achieve, eliminating the need for users to interact with specific applications or digital services to accomplish their goals.

He explained that the model is trained to analyze various application interfaces across different programming operating systems, including Android, iOS, Mac, Linux, and Windows. This enables the device to interact with application interfaces more closely to how humans would interact with them.
