Rabbit R1: an artificially intelligent gadget that can be absolutely anything

Imagine a world where you no longer have to press the little icons on your phone. A world where you can say, “Hey R1, order me a pizza,” and then just sit back and wait for the delivery. No, it's not science fiction, it is Rabbit R1, a new AI gadget that promises to become your new best friend – or at least your busiest assistant.

Jesse Liu, CEO and founder of startup Rabbit, recently unveiled the R1, a device that's half the size of an iPhone but promises twice the fun. With a 2.88-inch touchscreen, a rotating camera (for those unforgettable selfie moments), and all powered by a MediaTek processor with 4GB of memory. The design? Oh, it's in the hands of Teenage Engineering, who are known for their "cool" design.

The Rabbit R1 runs on Rabbit OS, an operating system based on the “Large Action Model”. Think of it as Alexa or Google Assistant, but more ambitious. It controls your music, orders transportation, buys groceries, sends messages - all through a single interface. No messing around with apps and logins.

But the main question remains: Will the R1 really be able to replace our smartphones? Is this just one step closer to a world where we will have an AI assistant for every little thing
