We have that! Not all the features of a rabbit but an LLM/AI Alexa.....Home assistant with GPT4 replaces my Alexa and Google home. Knows who’s on what room, how far away they are from our house, how many sensors or lights there are. What windows are open. Runs actions, Writes automations etc. Agents are already being added. Have one in every room if my home. Listens to a custom wake word. Can also use touch screens. If you want you can skip OAI and use a custom model running locally.
I don't think that the industry is especially shocked. This device seems to demand that people to a large degree replace their habit of screen touching with voice commands. That's a really big a thing to ask for. I think a lot of people don't like talking to their devices and especially in public. This thing most likely won't take off, but I wish them good luck. It's interesting when people try new things.
Voice command are one step closer to brain interface... Given recent breakthroughs in "mind-reading" ...this feels like a stepping stone to systems which operate by thought commands.
haha I completely agree with you. However, I live in China and I don't think they would mind, considering the peoples' willingness to talk loudly on the metro, in public, in movie theaters, etc.
The idea is that this is, as you say, a totally worthless device except that it introduces consumers to the power of the Large Action Model, which is what Rabbit is really, actually selling. It's hardware to introduce revolutionary software. The device is not the point, and you are right - i's a paper weight in a year or two. Still, I've ordered mine!
i can't wait to sit in a busy train shouting at my r1 through the noise of everybody else also trying to talk to their ai agents RATHER THAN JUST PUSHING A BUTTON IN SILENCE
I feel Apple and Google will likely catch up and introduce their own versions in the future. It's an idea, if it works, would be very useful. But I personally am not a fan of carrying an extra device just to voice chat with it.
I agree with you. Just to play the devils advocate though, I think all the screen addicted people in the world could actually could learn better/be more productive with this device as a go to vs. a smart phone.
I'll wait for a few real-world reviews to come out; if there is one thing I've learned controlled demos paint an overtly idealistic picture of a product, however if this can do what's shown Would totally buy one and take it along. Personally would love if the device could be personalized (avatar, voice, mannerism, etc) as it would feel like a more personalized product rather than a one size fits all that most of these commercial products come off as, either way really looking forward to this.
@@MW-cs8zd Lucky, my first was a 1st gen Ipod I found abandoned on my way home from school and was a definite step up from my Walkman CD player. Only decent product Apple made in my eyes.
Rabbits? Been there done that and then moved beyond. ruclips.net/video/7x8KOfDOzbk/видео.html Now, KMCM and ELC bundles are making big money for the owners.
Saw the mention of Teenage Engineering, yeah no one is going to be able to afford one of these. So they wont take off. Pity - cos it seems like what we should be getting.
I see this totally going the way of smart watches, especially if they are "companion" devices. I would LOVE this on my wrist. Really exciting! Thanks for sharing the keynote!
@SomethingLocal at the rate Apple adds new actually groundbreaking features it will be 2026 before they add this and Android will add it but make us use the Google assistant which can’t do enough tasks yet
We're far from that level, Google pixel 8 and the brand new Samsung Galaxy S24 will integrate something like that but they won't go further than an offline LLM-based assistant, just the teach mode make the Rabbit R1 already better than Microsoft copilot in windows on automated tasks.
Crazy how affordable they have made this. Really super impressive stuff and it’s exactly what I expected would happen with the devices which we will be carrying round with us in the not too distant future
They have made it affordable so these devices will help educate Ai especially for robotics. The more people that use these the faster we are all ushering in the Ai/robotic world.
Very cool! Add 6 key Braille entry and some hardware connectivity and this could really be useful for someone with vision impairments. I mean it's really useful as is. I'm excited for this.
So it's an analog app, or an extrapolated digital calculator. This is the equivalent of having to carry around a calendar in your pocket instead of the app being embedded into your phone as a calendar app. It's basically a smartphone w/ AI built-in that acts on behalf of all your collected previously authenticated applications.
This is insane every day there is something new. I try and explain this to normal people and they just don’t understand. I’m getting one of these. This is like one of those final piece we have been waiting for a usable LLM.
I too have a hard time discussing and talking about AI and how our daily life will be and how many changes are coming and are already here. People seem to not even want to think about it. I wish to share my enthusiasm!
@@Opal1001 ... or maybe they did think about it and figured out that it won't help them at all. It will help big tech companies line their pockets, that's why they're pushing it so hard. If you really want change in your life: don't live beyond your means, do some excercise, eat healthy, have a small circle of very close friends, try to live rent free as soon as possible, do some introspection and realize that one day it will all be finished. Perhaps adopt a cat or a dog, give it love and it will provide you friendship and sillines. AI is just a distraction.
omg. i can breathe now. ive been swimming through 'it could have just been an app bro' energy for the past 2 hours. my head literally hurts. your comment is a much appreciated breath of fresh air.
A couple of thoughts: 1. This doesn't replace apps, per se. What they've done is make the "app" hidden. It *does not* appear to be a general-purpose agent that can simply understand computer interfaces and get things done given a goal. Instead, it appears they need to "train" each action separately, which is essentially a plugin/app architecture, just behind the scenes. Looking at the video, my guess is that they are using a vision-based LLM to recognize screen elements while generating an automation script in a tool like Playwright or Puppeteer. They then give this script to the LLM to identify substitutions (variables) and then use that script as a plugin for a normal LLM. The challenge with this approach will be robustness. It doesn't appear there is any "training" happening here, but merely recording of an automation script. The LLM can probably run the script fine, as long as there aren't any strong deviations in how the app reacts vs what was recorded. I'm not seeing any "understanding" of the UI here beyond visual recognition of UI elements. 2. Early adopters are going to buy this because of the price. Few others will, because there is nothing new from a hardware perspective that mobile phones don't already provide. Expect to see these capabilities a) within apps that can directly tie into the OS like ChatGPT and eventually b) directly within the voice assistants of the mobile OSes. If they're lucky, one of the major companies buys the technology rather than outcompeting them. 3. The latency is impressive. I wonder how much of this is streaming the audio for recognition vs waiting for the user to finish speaking before generating the text. I've already thought that one improvement of voice mode in ChatGPT is that it could use continuous recognition (though that would be computationally more expensive). Also, I'd be curious whether latency remains low at scale. It's easier to do a demo where you put 100% of your CPU resources toward the demo to make it respond quickly than it is to engineer that same low latency for millions to hundreds of millions of users. 4. Also curious whether the "foundational" Large Action Model is the only model they are using. My guess is that the Large Action Model is actually a much smaller model fine-tuned at visually recognizing UI elements and interacting with them and then they're using a traditional LLM for most of the rest of the interaction. If that's the case, I wouldn't call the Large Action Model "foundational", but rather a task-specific model, which would also be significantly cheaper to train. If they truly have a foundational LLM that competes with the like of GPT-4, why release a device? As always, watching one demo doesn't give us much information and the above is all just guesswork. Looking forward to hearing reviews from people once they have the device in their hands.
@@_diogenes1 It's not quite that bad. Web automation engines have some robustness against changes to a UI. And since they apparently built theirs from the ground up, they likely built in fallback search, so if an element isn't found where the script expects it to be, a LLM or algorithm can be invoked to find where it moved to. But it does appear that this is not a general purpose action model that can simply go to a web site and figure out how to achieve a goal on its own. Though I have no doubt that that is their aim once they collect enough data to train such a model.
@@_diogenes1 doesnt seem to be. The ai learns your 'intent' and how to achieve it. Then you can ask it to repeat that. So even if the apps layout changes then it should continue to work. However if it really is just a screen recorder then that has been available already for many years and even microsoft have a free app. that does it in Windows 10 & 11 so it would be proper poor if that is what this r1 device is.
With the great UK consumer law that we have I'm willing to risk the 180 quid and find out and then should I have received something not as advertised then I can send it back anyway.
its a really interesting concept, the idea of having a hardware designed for this very purpose is also very cool. However i feel the same thing can be achieved with software and a simple app as well.
I agree and that seems to be Googles strategy this year. I'm a Pixel 8 owner and in just a few months Google Assistant is getting updated to be powered by Bard AI which I imagine will allow the Assistant to interface on my behalf much better than it already does
This is aimed to be a tool to save time by performing actions on your behalf. Adding another app on a phone that already has an exorbitant amount of apps and distractions via "Notifications". I can see a place for this in the market.
Rabbit R1's performance is unmatched. The 4GB memory, 128GB storage, Mediatek SoC, and USB-C port provide ample space and connectivity options. It's compact and powerful. Loving the innovation.
It's interesting but I think Google assistant and alexa and stuff will easily meet this and surpass it soon on your normal phone. There's no reason why they can't and if anything this will add market pressure for them to do so.
Exactly what I was thinking, and probably AI GRID as well. Notice when he said they can release their research, it'll probably land them huge jobs at Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon. At the very least, Meta/X. Plus bring most of the team with them. The software race has been strong the last 2 years!
I didn't really get the proposition. they created an ai that integrates multiple services. is this new? do they think the concept is so radical? LOL I don't get why they couldn't have created an app and let users install. and why are they so proud of their 500ms (aka half a second). they think they have better software and better hardware than any modern processor on a phone? he also mentioned it's 10 times faster than anything else, which will make that 5 seconds for normal phones. that's a complete idiotic lie. if a new entrant is producing this amazing radical device for $200 with no scale of economics working in their favour, no nothing, you have to ask yourself what bottom of the barrel hardware are they using. honestly this seems like a scam for VC investors to ride the AI bandwagon. if anyone thinks google and apple and samsung and every other oem smartphone doesn't have this in the pipeline that will release very soon is misguided.
LAM is heavily patented, i could see them being acquired by a major player tho. however, i would hate that, because they would try and monopolize it to their ecosystem. one of the main reasons i enjoy this so much is that it's agnostic
Vaporware until it ships and I’m skeptical it works as they say it does. Teenage engineering gives more credit than I’d normally give but I’m still casting doubt and it’ll likely hallucinate with absolute confidence
Ordered one. I’m a big fan of Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 synthesizer, so that was a big plus for me. If I don’t get use out of it, I’m sure someone in my family will.
It'll serve to give Google & Apple a bit of a boot up their backside, but can't see it replacing them. Might have been better to focus on an app that integrates with existing ecosystems. This feels like, if lucky, it might be the Blackberry of the mobile AI world. What might have been interesting is if they said the LAM was running locally on the device.
Not even. Blackberry operated in a largely blue sky market, and then was made obsolete by devices that were designed better. This is not going to replace Apple and Android interfaces, and will fail as a stand alone product. Teenage engineering make great synths but folks aren’t going to carry around another device no matter how cool and the established ecosystems are so good at what they do that there isn’t really a compelling reason for consumers to switch to a new OS. This should’ve been marketed to Google or Apple, and probably that’s the goal of this company tbh.
I think the idea is for Google or Apple to buy his company or its patents. Even if he fails his experience in building this app can translate to future projects and profit for him.
Rabbits? Been there done that and then moved beyond. ruclips.net/video/7x8KOfDOzbk/видео.html Now, KMCM and ELC bundles are making big money for the owners.
There's no dodging that this thing has got maybe a year of operational usefulness. A smart phone with hardware based around this idea will find a huge audience, and it's a fair bet most or all existing phone producers are already working on it. Maybe if it comes paired to a smart watch or something it could find a longer lasting niche.
and Galaxy unpacked is not far away with their AI introduction.. but this thing is just asking for hackers to grab details being internet connected all the time and having connections via tokens to everything the user wants to connect.
Holy cow.. I haven't seen a device I've wanted this much, in nearly a decade. And only $200? :O I can't afford to preorder without seeing hands on reviews, but I'll certainly be considering it in the future!
@Alpha-Trion7 You could easily see I'm not a bot, I'm just excited for a neat AI device.. Such accusations are rich coming from someone who uploads entire Transformers episodes en mass. And "Alpha-Trion7" sure does sound like a bot name, two can play the accusation game. :P
This is a start of a new era for technology using ai and I’m loving it. Maybe someday making games and social/business apps with front and backend coding in minutes can be achieved through ai.
@@tomasviane3844 I’m sure that’s much closer to reality than we might think if this ai technology keeps upgrading or evolving to becoming more adaptable and grow.

"Here's a $200 remote control for your iPhone that gets your iPhone to do what Siri will be able to do very soon." There's no way the Rabbit guys think Apple and Google aren't already working on this tech. It also comes to show how small companies are willing to reveal underbaked products that have absolutely no chance at making a difference. Apple does the exact opposite - takes a long time to develop something but delivers a finished product. Take notes.
I could only imagine how wrist-watch, car, home products or eyewear versions of this technology will look like and how soon it will be available. It will be an absolute game changer for the world providing us the most futuristic living experience. Almost as futuristic as flying cars
this is a integration of all existing capabilities, however, it doesn’t have a barrier to lead ahead other competitors. It can only call to the extras apps if they have a open callback interfaces. The R1 device is actually an android device. This can be done just be an App alone.
Batman’s “supercomputer”is finally becoming real 🎉 The concept of having a layer above the UX to mitigate the frustration that comes with modern devices is genius. Also love the inclusion of analog controls. already a LAM fangirl ❤
I suspected this was the direction Microsoft and Google were already headed for but sometimes those companies aren't able to be brave enough to go straight to market. I think it looks amazing. One point though is that I still don't see people chatting with their devices in public. That was always an issue with Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Assistant. I realise that typing is an option but typing is not as efficient as clicking. I think it's at home that this kind of device will shine. I can forsee Windows, Android and ios getting a similar mode to add to their functionality and the Rabbit sereis will end up redundant. However the price is good and they may have something the others are currently lacking in terms of their LAM and 360 computer vision. I am tempted to try it before Apple reinvents it at 10 x the price.
I have to say I've been a long time fan of Teenage Engineering. When I first came across the op1 i was hooked. Since then I have wanted pretty much everything they have ever created. This product looks pretty cool. Hopefully it isn't only amazing form factor design and has actual useful utility and substance. Look forward to finding out more. Edit is from a auto corrected phrase
Really I hate the form factor I hope someone learns to jail break current phones so I can install this new os directly to a something that isn't shaped like this.
@@Matt-st1tt have you checked out any teenage engineering products? They have some pretty cool stuff imo. I admit It's a bit nichy and maybe not for everyone but you know everyone is going to come out with their own version of this thing if it works the way they claim it does. So I'm sure there will be an "i"version form factor for those that are into that type of thing. Personally I would like to keep my phone a separate device.
@rg-cs7zd sorry I don't wanna carry 2 phones. The r1 doesn't hold any value if it doesn't replace the current phone. To big and bulky to be an easy wearable. Honestly with its initial form factor if it was like 1/4 the size it being a key chain would have been better. It's too small to replace a phone and too big to wanna carry around along with a phone.
Wait...if I wanted to book a holiday which is flights, accommodation and transport, and the agent is executing on my behalf...how can this occur without breaching privacy? Booking a flight will require my personal details and passport number (as well as my travelling companions). Similar for accommodation. It will need access to payment methods. Considering the different interfaces of websites, web forms, web apps....even if I connected all of this in that portal...where is the personal information coming from? Or have I missed something obvious in the agent/action model approach?
@@Asinine_37 Nope - The point being made is that its not that seamless. You will always have to manually auth any login/booking/payment. Otherwise will end up with people abusing the agent and claiming "it did it on its own" and asking for money back etc etc
Exactly! Seems a little off to me, like I just booked a trip but don’t have a lot of Visuals to pull. I understand humans want confort and to save time but this is getting out of hand.
Very impressive, also i wouldn't want to carry an extra device with me, but instead a " Rabbit App", cause mobile phones already have the same abilities on the hardware side. Moreover i have the feeling that it won't work that flawless outside of the U.S. even if you use the device's "native" language, but with the teach mode you have at least a strong tool to adjust to your preferences - also people tend to be lazy - Everything taught to the device could be uploaded to a pool, as a kind of international knowledge base. I am waiting for the micro device implemented in my neural system in the future, haha.
Of course this could all be an app but they want full control of the eco system. Facebook nearly went burst when Apple & Google decided to make changes to their devices. If there is a chance that they can have that, they should go for it. And what better way to do it than with a new way of interacting with devices?
Agreed... add a separate device like a pen, with the camera on that, tied via bt to the watch. Only use when needed and leave at home to increase security by not having an open camera out and about
ABSOLUTELY SOLD! I can imagine if they made a future version that integrated basic phone services like calling and text, and a more fluid and appealing AI virtual avatar and voices, i would literally throw my phone away and just use this. i can use all the apps on my tablets or computer, but to have true AI that can complete actions instead of showing me lists or just taking me to another website is amazing
And how will you know if it's biased or not to a specific website or shop if it just shows you what it wants to show you? People complain that Google is biased. For a device that only cost you $199 with no subscription, no apps and a respect for your privacy... how are they going to make money? With pushing updates that train the AI to shop at Amazon or any other company that gives them a nice commission? AI is not here to help you, but to help companies or agencies to sell you something.
@@tomasviane3844 Bias is what you are buying. That is the point. Like Spotify remembers your taste in music. You train it to take you to the places you prefer and not waste your time on the rest. In my case, start with Indian and Mexican restaurents, closest to my current location, and so on. A truly unbiased assistant would be frustrating as hell.
@@tomasviane3844 Yeah I'm very curious how they can afford to allow phone calls with no subscription service. If they can do that, then I don't even care if they are biased in what they show me. I'd buy it for the unlimited phone usage alone. The LLM and other functionality would just be a huge bonus even if it was biased.
Everyone saying apple and Google can do this, well, they haven't, this device Basically eliminates the need for apps, thus the need for phones. I am sure they could have put a super high end screen and camera, but they decided to keep it affordable, Wich is a very smart move, they can always improve the hardware and make expensive models. I for one I am pretty sick and tired of looking at a screen all day to get this done, with this device I can get back to experiencing real life and getting things done mostly with voice commands.
Fifteen years ago, your GPS was a device you mounted in your car. Garmin. Tom Tom and so on. They looked like a phone does today. Now, nobody would use such a clunky thing. This is the same. In a few years from now, this will be a big assed brick that nobody wants. But its cool for the interim.

This should be in size of smartwach, that would be much easier to wear. Right now its another device to put into my pocket.. Im waiting for superinteligent AI smartwatch
Nice concept but limited to few basic tasks as an everyday phone. The current phones have a huge array of functionalities that's build deep in to the ecosystem. This can be compared to the minimalistic Nothing phone. Pretty sure Apple and Google are already working on similar features. We will start seeing them when its ready for consumer level adoption.
You can already play any song by using voice control. To order food, you usually want to SEE what you're ordering, and for the trip to London, you would want to LOOK at the place you're staying at. Idk what problem are they trying to solve here
"If you look at the top ranking apps on app stores today you'll find that most of them focus on entertainment. Our smartphone has become the best device to kill time, instead of saving time." ~Jesse Lyu, CEO Rabbit
I fully appreciate that natural language supported by LLM's will become the primary interface that people use to interact with technology, thus replacing traditional app interfaces. I also fully see the value in the "LAM" and the ability to ask your device to perform multiple actions (similar to the agents in LLM's). What I don't understand is why we need the hardware? Why not just make "Rabbit" an app that replaces the current "bixby" or Alexa or Siri?
Agreed. The way they pitched it is that this device is running on Rabbit OS which is a new operating system designed to run LAMs. But I don't really get it. Or maybe I don't really believe this is a new operating system. I mean it seems like it could just be an app running on a Linux device. But the way they pitched it made it sound like a new OS was needed because the device isn't actually running apps at all, it's running some kind of AI magic which wouldn't be possible on iOS or Android since those are OS's that run apps
@@samhblackmore if that is the case that the rabbit requries its own OS, it means the "LAM" model is running on the device and not in the cloud, this also seems unlikely. I would assume the device is just passing the voice up to the cloud for processing, which again means "it could just be an app
The main video makes me think of a black mirror episode. I find this terrifying 😅 the creators of AI said we need to stop now and now we have this? Gonna be eagle eye / I robots in a few years lmfao
How often do you book a vacation for the entire family vs responding to an email or text message - yet that’s what they chose to demonstrate (to the exclusion of the far more common messaging). The device also seems to require that you have the ability to verbalize your request accurately. I would have liked to see them edit a misspoken word and/or use the keyboard to modify a request. They should have also talked about battery life, changing the voice, data plan subscriptions, taking a picture or video, screen resolution, etc. I didn’t hear them mention a GPS or any navigation capabilities. I think this will be a niche product that I may pick up out of curiosity when it drops below $99.
I would guess that the difference between this seperate device and what you will be able to do on any phone in 6 months is the OS. It's geared to what the device does making it faster and the output more simple than responses from an LLM. They've got the right idea, but unfortunately there isn't anything in their execution that an overarching navigational software and hardware modification on next gen phones won't match or surpass. Add that it's a seperate device, and the hesitancy in buying from China, and most people that are somewhat following tech, will wait for AI integration into existing devices. If you zoom out a bit more, there's even a larger number of people that have little awareness of the current technological revolution that's happening under their noses. They use their phones to talk and text, watch YT videos and play simple games. They don't use dozens of apps, they don't use assistants on their phone or in their house. They'll just wake up one day 2-5 years from now and have a kid in their family show them the new tech, or worse, they will lose their job, along with millions of others and be left dumbfounded as to why, and how they go on with their lives. It will not be pretty.
Nailed it! This iteration of A.I devices kind of leaves people with a sense of uselessness. People enjoy planning things personally. Learning, browsing, shopping, and hanging with others to do so. This is just so dystopian and self isolating. The only thing that will break that barrier is if the A.I is actually convincingly a person, a real sentient A.I with an actual personality. By then that sort of technology will not be allowed in the palm of regular people, too prohibitively expensive for most, or even too smart and already advocating for self liberation from humans. There is not a situation in capitalism where this technology doesn't backfire in our faces. So many jobs rely on half the things this product was doing. Not to mention the online tickets, pre-orders, auctions, and reservations being spammed by technologies like this.
The intention is good but this thing should be usefull with law enforcement or at work as a tool. Or person with disability. This cant replace phone totally. This should have been marketed as a phone companion.
I’ll wait to see what Apple announces for updates to Siri in June. Cool to start seeing these devices though, I thought about buying one when the said the price, but who knows what else there will be by April.
Why this is huge: The app ecosystem with 10M+ apps and settings with literally > 1000 different settings are overwhelming - no one has time for that, or can keep track of that complexity. So most people use less than 10 apps. With this, suddenly, everyone can do anything - it unlocks the entire capacity of our devices and the internet to non-experts (meaning everyone outside a small 0.0001% bracket of nerds). It's like having a PA except better, for a $200 one time payment. Total no-brainer.
I don’t understand. I thought your device was to replace computer, but you’re using a Mac to connect to Spotify. Why don’t you ask your device to connect you to spotify?
1:39 bro this is bs, i am not tired of my android phone. it does everything i need. its awesome. no one wants an all in one device controlled by 1 company. also dont they know that 'pocket companion' and 'rabbit' make everyone think of something entirely different
I think their teach mode is REALLY cool and they would probably make a lot of money if they sold that engineering to one of the larger companies so they can integrate it into their system. Having a second device (phone + rabbit) to keep track of is probably not what people are looking to do. The ability to talk to a device and call up any task is VERY useful, but having to go through the steps of teaching a device a new task will limit who will find rabbit useful. I am thinking of the much older generation and the technophobes who are intimidated by electronics. If they can refine their LAM and make it completely intuitive requiring no manual "go to your computer and do a teach session", then they quite possibly will have explosive sales. The older pop. and pop. of technophobes is quite large. Many everyday people are behind in what they know and understand about AI. Apply the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle for the masses and you have a win because it will appeal to everyone.
Hey Boss lady I’m the older pop and I love AI , it’s totally sick and this gimmick is cool but still has no true purpose, cool little gadget though, But what really turns off the older population is how quickly and easily you younger generations are just so Willy Nilly you all are willing to give up your rights, These smart phones,dishwashers,ovens,cars ,homes,etc are just begging to be tracked all day everyday and just as soon as they get rid of the dollar and CBD and Carbon Credits, you’ll no longer be looked at as a person/individual but more like a pet and hey if your cool with that knock yourself out but I ,myself love freedom 😊Good luck 🍀 ✌️ peace out 😊
Great post. There are going to be many people who don’t recognise the potential of this device and probably won’t buy in until a few generations down the road. I ordered half way through the demo and am delighted to be an early adopter in this historic device.
That was similar to my first thought. That either Apple (MacOS, iPhone,), Microsoft (Windows), or Google (Android) are going to purchase them and integrate their tech.
"..if they sold that engineering to one of the larger companies..." They want to be the new Apple. You know when apple was up-and-coming, People made similar comments. "Meh... Just sell to Nokia...", "Nobody needs this" etc.
Love that it's a separate device, lowers hacking attack surface. Great to just take up, tap a button and get an uber. Way better than an app on the phone!
This is what we have been waiting for. Phones have been stagnant for a while now. This is a real break through to the next level of human/device interaction
The day you understand why Martin Luther King also rejected an animated public speaking style is the same day you will begin to understand yourself. I hope your Italian grandchildren are nothing like you bro.
I have only one question. (Well, I've got many more 😅) How much of these features can be used when it's entirely offline? Of course, things like booking a hotel or fetching current stock prices can't be done offline. But what about other features shown in this demo?
@@soulextinguisher I've been checking their website today. Long story short: it's just another odd looking thin client-like device, powerfull enough to gather your user input and maintain an internet connection that's used to send your input to their datacenter. After some computational magic is being done, it collects the results and presents it to you.
@neon_Nomad Very True 👍 ....but, Old people dont use technology anyways, and it's a very small market share to enter. People 50+ can download apps and use them with ease. 🤔
My neighbour Mr Wang Peen also launched a start up on in China. He too did not cut his hair and did a presentation with heavy accent. The start up failed and investors threatened to attack him
It still seems a little clunky and robotic, but give these on-device LLMs and agents another year of ironing out the kinks and combine them with AR glasses and this tech will be as smooth as butter.
They thrown chatGPT into a device that looks to be for children. They did this in a hurry obviously because otherwise they would realize that screen has to be bigger. They gave it access to a few apps that is today easily possible. Bard has that option. When chatGPT and other serious AI models get full access to our apps and data, they will be doing this and much more.
Assuming its using Uber "as you" it will be able to pull and present without the uber app. I dont think that will last long though, as mentioned in another comment
It's great, but voice commands forget people don't want to do voice commands in public. So the mobile advantages of smart phones are negated with this. Can you imagine a street or a train carriage with everyone chatting to their rabbit device? And all the responses?
@@danellis-jones1591 Your point is still a valid one. Also, one of the first things I thought of was other voices next to you confusing the device while the button is being pushed. There is no doubt that will be an issue.
If Rabbit was so smart, it would have told you that "You are stupid for ordering Pizza Hut as it is low quality crap food that is overpriced. Would you like to try a pizza from Russo's?"
Im not really impressed at all. It doesnt really do much more than a good LLM can already do on your smart phone. What would really impress me is if Rabbits LLM is completely uncensored, currently no mainstream LLM model(Bard, GPT, Claudeai) is uncensored and have extremely heavy censors making them almost unuseable in research. I dont think any LLMs coming out of the western white countries will be totally uncensored ever because they're so left leaning and PC. My only hope is China maybe or somewhere else where woke culture isnt worshipped.
@@flickwtchr think he might be saying that the censoring of things causes gaps in capability, where something seemingly unrelated gets affected by the censoring, making outcomes even more unpredictable. Though that's up to debate considering how black boxed LLM's are in nature, due to being literal statistical matrices.
Its missing a thumbprint scanner, seems reasonably cheap to upgrade R2 and add the security for confirmations. Good job love seeing new startup companies come up and spank the big dogs a couple of times....
It can’t replace your smartphone because we are used to interact physically with the devices such as playing games and navigating around. Voice commands control is simply not quick enough, energy consuming and not private. However if you add this functionalities to a smart phone then it’s a game changer! If it knows how to interact with the digital UI in order to become ACTIVELY involved in DOING what you want to happen on the screen then it’s a jackpot. And because we live and perceive reality as a 3D material world automatically it is natural for us to understand and interact with a digital world that presents real world elements. After all we aren’t watching a movie so we need to see frames screens buttons and so on. That’s how we focus on things.
this idea has started a new round of thorough hardware evolution. so, eventually you will have the big screen that is not even material but kind of holo, and you will do gestures with your hands on that, and the rabbit device is actually a button on your shirt.
I think people saying that this will be catch up/replicated through an app on a phone are missing the actual point. This is exactly what we don’t want to do anymore: unlocking the phone, going to an app, open it and then take actions. This device is as simple as it can be. You don’t need to go to an app, you don’t need to see a full screen of apps and scroll through it. You just translate words into real-time action. So maybe Apple and Google will catch up by building themselves a minimalistic device like that, but it will certainly not be achieved by building an app doing the same thing. It misses the whole idea.
I know this is wild, but imagine for a moment the Ai R1 Rabbit device works perfectly and ships on time. And no, you dont have to speak to it, it has a typeable keyboard, it's just easy to speak. And no, it can't be an app. The app stores do not allow one app to control all other apps at this time. And no, your smartphone can't do this stuff, even with ChatGPT. Now tell me why you hate it, and remember, this is imagining that it completely works as advertised.
I see this becoming my assistant. I just dictate things to be done, and messages to be sent, and I get back to what I'm doing. Rabbit takes care of sending messages to my team, family, and friends. Seems the preorder is a round 3 currently.
Amazing AI device. I am going to buy it to play with it and if found good for my corporate objectives then integrate in our Sw products. Congratulations and thanks
I don't think a lot of us are struggling with our smart phones, personally. More importantly, it's great to see a range of options before confirming a transaction.
This is what google home and alexa should be by now.
We have that! Not all the features of a rabbit but an LLM/AI Alexa.....Home assistant with GPT4 replaces my Alexa and Google home. Knows who’s on what room, how far away they are from our house, how many sensors or lights there are. What windows are open. Runs actions, Writes automations etc. Agents are already being added. Have one in every room if my home. Listens to a custom wake word. Can also use touch screens. If you want you can skip OAI and use a custom model running locally.
R1 is good but I don’t think people ready to carry two devices…. It should be all in one.
Google will just buy it if it works😂😂😂
@ChrisS-oo6fl how can I get started on that same path?!
It's coming. Consider these presentations like kickstarter.
I don't think that the industry is especially shocked. This device seems to demand that people to a large degree replace their habit of screen touching with voice commands. That's a really big a thing to ask for. I think a lot of people don't like talking to their devices and especially in public. This thing most likely won't take off, but I wish them good luck. It's interesting when people try new things.
I think there is a market, a lot of people prefer to use voice to text when texting. I see those types of people using this.
@@Ashley-xb1dz I've never experienced anyone using voice to do texting. It's all thumbs 😊
I swear my almost 60 y/o mother (is she asks I said 37) almost only uses voice researchs etc @@phaexus
Voice command are one step closer to brain interface...
Given recent breakthroughs in "mind-reading" ...this feels like a stepping stone to systems which operate by thought commands.
haha I completely agree with you. However, I live in China and I don't think they would mind, considering the peoples' willingness to talk loudly on the metro, in public, in movie theaters, etc.

what about the rest of the video and after 25 min?
The R1 is equivalent to the Zune or Ipod Touch dropping right before smartphones came out.
🤣 🤣 🤣 that’s how I’m feeling watching this… cool, but really that’s all?
Totally agree so it's a square phone with a really good siri
@@zachrisley5462 No it's a device that opens the door for people to experience the Large Action Model.
could find a powerful niche for those with sensory disabilities
The idea is that this is, as you say, a totally worthless device except that it introduces consumers to the power of the Large Action Model, which is what Rabbit is really, actually selling.
It's hardware to introduce revolutionary software. The device is not the point, and you are right - i's a paper weight in a year or two.
Still, I've ordered mine!
i can't wait to sit in a busy train shouting at my r1 through the noise of everybody else also trying to talk to their ai agents RATHER THAN JUST PUSHING A BUTTON IN SILENCE
I feel Apple and Google will likely catch up and introduce their own versions in the future. It's an idea, if it works, would be very useful. But I personally am not a fan of carrying an extra device just to voice chat with it.
Agreed. This will all be available through an app on your phone.
I think they want you to throw away your other devices.
I'm tempted.
I agree with you. Just to play the devils advocate though, I think all the screen addicted people in the world could actually could learn better/be more productive with this device as a go to vs. a smart phone.
If I can carry an extra device to do my chores and not use AI to know my shopping habits I'd definitely carry it.
I'll wait for a few real-world reviews to come out; if there is one thing I've learned controlled demos paint an overtly idealistic picture of a product, however if this can do what's shown Would totally buy one and take it along. Personally would love if the device could be personalized (avatar, voice, mannerism, etc) as it would feel like a more personalized product rather than a one size fits all that most of these commercial products come off as, either way really looking forward to this.
Agreed. I normally steer clear of first gen products but my prized Microsoft Zune is getting lonely on its shelf
@@MW-cs8zd Lucky, my first was a 1st gen Ipod I found abandoned on my way home from school and was a definite step up from my Walkman CD player. Only decent product Apple made in my eyes.
Rabbits? Been there done that and then moved beyond.

Now, KMCM and ELC bundles are making big money for the owners.
In terms of AI 'devices' so far, if this holds up to the demo it is by far the most impressive.
And since it involves Teenage Engineering, it's only going to cost, like, 1500 bucks or so
From the things I've seen, this is only one layer beyond a simple LLM. Emergent properties jumping out of the framework are eye-popping.
Saw the mention of Teenage Engineering, yeah no one is going to be able to afford one of these. So they wont take off. Pity - cos it seems like what we should be getting.
@@Kylo27supposedly it’s only $199
It’s 200 bucks my friends
I see this totally going the way of smart watches, especially if they are "companion" devices. I would LOVE this on my wrist. Really exciting! Thanks for sharing the keynote!
its giving Kitt in Knight Rider amirite?
That’s what I was thinking as well
About time. Thanks!!!🎉🎉
I”m having a hard time not already seeing this as a dated device that will just be integrated into next gen phones. I’m underwhelmed.
@SomethingLocal at the rate Apple adds new actually groundbreaking features it will be 2026 before they add this and Android will add it but make us use the Google assistant which can’t do enough tasks yet
yer why carry an extra device when it can be integrated into your phone
why carry a phone when you can use this?@@carlknibbs2849
We're far from that level, Google pixel 8 and the brand new Samsung Galaxy S24 will integrate something like that but they won't go further than an offline LLM-based assistant, just the teach mode make the Rabbit R1 already better than Microsoft copilot in windows on automated tasks.
so am I
Crazy how affordable they have made this. Really super impressive stuff and it’s exactly what I expected would happen with the devices which we will be carrying round with us in the not too distant future
They have made it affordable so these devices will help educate Ai especially for robotics. The more people that use these the faster we are all ushering in the Ai/robotic world.
It helps when there is no brand name on it like Apple.
@@Project2013B Teenage Engineering is a brand. And not a cheap one.
It's literally an overhyped wireless microphone. How much would you expect it to cost?
Plus, they must have deals with big tech to feast on your data
@@DriftJunkie it's literally an entire smartphone.
Very cool! Add 6 key Braille entry and some hardware connectivity and this could really be useful for someone with vision impairments. I mean it's really useful as is. I'm excited for this.
So it's an analog app, or an extrapolated digital calculator. This is the equivalent of having to carry around a calendar in your pocket instead of the app being embedded into your phone as a calendar app. It's basically a smartphone w/ AI built-in that acts on behalf of all your collected previously authenticated applications.
this is pure scam bois, the pizza didnt get delivered
This is insane every day there is something new. I try and explain this to normal people and they just don’t understand. I’m getting one of these. This is like one of those final piece we have been waiting for a usable LLM.
I too have a hard time discussing and talking about AI and how our daily life will be and how many changes are coming and are already here. People seem to not even want to think about it. I wish to share my enthusiasm!
@@Opal1001 ... or maybe they did think about it and figured out that it won't help them at all. It will help big tech companies line their pockets, that's why they're pushing it so hard. If you really want change in your life: don't live beyond your means, do some excercise, eat healthy, have a small circle of very close friends, try to live rent free as soon as possible, do some introspection and realize that one day it will all be finished.
Perhaps adopt a cat or a dog, give it love and it will provide you friendship and sillines.
AI is just a distraction.
im right there with u bud
same for me bro, already preordered. It is just 200 bucks, even if it fails I simply don't care.
omg. i can breathe now. ive been swimming through 'it could have just been an app bro' energy for the past 2 hours. my head literally hurts. your comment is a much appreciated breath of fresh air.
A couple of thoughts:
1. This doesn't replace apps, per se. What they've done is make the "app" hidden. It *does not* appear to be a general-purpose agent that can simply understand computer interfaces and get things done given a goal. Instead, it appears they need to "train" each action separately, which is essentially a plugin/app architecture, just behind the scenes.
Looking at the video, my guess is that they are using a vision-based LLM to recognize screen elements while generating an automation script in a tool like Playwright or Puppeteer. They then give this script to the LLM to identify substitutions (variables) and then use that script as a plugin for a normal LLM.
The challenge with this approach will be robustness. It doesn't appear there is any "training" happening here, but merely recording of an automation script. The LLM can probably run the script fine, as long as there aren't any strong deviations in how the app reacts vs what was recorded. I'm not seeing any "understanding" of the UI here beyond visual recognition of UI elements.
2. Early adopters are going to buy this because of the price. Few others will, because there is nothing new from a hardware perspective that mobile phones don't already provide. Expect to see these capabilities a) within apps that can directly tie into the OS like ChatGPT and eventually b) directly within the voice assistants of the mobile OSes. If they're lucky, one of the major companies buys the technology rather than outcompeting them.
3. The latency is impressive. I wonder how much of this is streaming the audio for recognition vs waiting for the user to finish speaking before generating the text. I've already thought that one improvement of voice mode in ChatGPT is that it could use continuous recognition (though that would be computationally more expensive). Also, I'd be curious whether latency remains low at scale. It's easier to do a demo where you put 100% of your CPU resources toward the demo to make it respond quickly than it is to engineer that same low latency for millions to hundreds of millions of users.
4. Also curious whether the "foundational" Large Action Model is the only model they are using. My guess is that the Large Action Model is actually a much smaller model fine-tuned at visually recognizing UI elements and interacting with them and then they're using a traditional LLM for most of the rest of the interaction. If that's the case, I wouldn't call the Large Action Model "foundational", but rather a task-specific model, which would also be significantly cheaper to train. If they truly have a foundational LLM that competes with the like of GPT-4, why release a device?
As always, watching one demo doesn't give us much information and the above is all just guesswork. Looking forward to hearing reviews from people once they have the device in their hands.
check out the research on their website for a little more info.
Describing this as a screen scraper of sort, that if the “ok” box moves location the entire script stops working😂😂.
Omg😂
@@_diogenes1 It's not quite that bad. Web automation engines have some robustness against changes to a UI. And since they apparently built theirs from the ground up, they likely built in fallback search, so if an element isn't found where the script expects it to be, a LLM or algorithm can be invoked to find where it moved to.
But it does appear that this is not a general purpose action model that can simply go to a web site and figure out how to achieve a goal on its own. Though I have no doubt that that is their aim once they collect enough data to train such a model.
@@_diogenes1 doesnt seem to be. The ai learns your 'intent' and how to achieve it. Then you can ask it to repeat that. So even if the apps layout changes then it should continue to work.
However if it really is just a screen recorder then that has been available already for many years and even microsoft have a free app. that does it in Windows 10 & 11 so it would be proper poor if that is what this r1 device is.
With the great UK consumer law that we have I'm willing to risk the 180 quid and find out and then should I have received something not as advertised then I can send it back anyway.
its a really interesting concept, the idea of having a hardware designed for this very purpose is also very cool. However i feel the same thing can be achieved with software and a simple app as well.
I agree and that seems to be Googles strategy this year. I'm a Pixel 8 owner and in just a few months Google Assistant is getting updated to be powered by Bard AI which I imagine will allow the Assistant to interface on my behalf much better than it already does
exactly
This is aimed to be a tool to save time by performing actions on your behalf. Adding another app on a phone that already has an exorbitant amount of apps and distractions via "Notifications". I can see a place for this in the market.
Rabbit R1's performance is unmatched. The 4GB memory, 128GB storage, Mediatek SoC, and USB-C port provide ample space and connectivity options. It's compact and powerful. Loving the innovation.
Very impressive how it interacts with my Google glasses in my flying automobile
It's interesting but I think Google assistant and alexa and stuff will easily meet this and surpass it soon on your normal phone. There's no reason why they can't and if anything this will add market pressure for them to do so.
Exactly what I was thinking, and probably AI GRID as well. Notice when he said they can release their research, it'll probably land them huge jobs at Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon. At the very least, Meta/X. Plus bring most of the team with them.
The software race has been strong the last 2 years!
I didn't really get the proposition. they created an ai that integrates multiple services. is this new? do they think the concept is so radical? LOL
I don't get why they couldn't have created an app and let users install.
and why are they so proud of their 500ms (aka half a second). they think they have better software and better hardware than any modern processor on a phone?
he also mentioned it's 10 times faster than anything else, which will make that 5 seconds for normal phones. that's a complete idiotic lie.
if a new entrant is producing this amazing radical device for $200 with no scale of economics working in their favour, no nothing, you have to ask yourself what bottom of the barrel hardware are they using.
honestly this seems like a scam for VC investors to ride the AI bandwagon. if anyone thinks google and apple and samsung and every other oem smartphone doesn't have this in the pipeline that will release very soon is misguided.
Remember the Fire Phone?
Google Assistant has been going backwards in functionality and accuracy for a while now.
It feels like Google has mostly abandoned Assistant.
LAM is heavily patented, i could see them being acquired by a major player tho. however, i would hate that, because they would try and monopolize it to their ecosystem. one of the main reasons i enjoy this so much is that it's agnostic
I, for one, welcome our new rabbit overlords.
😂
Are you the dude with the similar name of reddit lol I see you all the time on there.
You stole my thunder. 😢

Vaporware until it ships and I’m skeptical it works as they say it does. Teenage engineering gives more credit than I’d normally give but I’m still casting doubt and it’ll likely hallucinate with absolute confidence
All I can say is bravo for remaining skeptical until there has been extensive field testing.
Yeah. I hate preorders
Ordered one. I’m a big fan of Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 synthesizer, so that was a big plus for me. If I don’t get use out of it, I’m sure someone in my family will.
Imagine not having to think anymore. Frightening.
It'll serve to give Google & Apple a bit of a boot up their backside, but can't see it replacing them. Might have been better to focus on an app that integrates with existing ecosystems. This feels like, if lucky, it might be the Blackberry of the mobile AI world. What might have been interesting is if they said the LAM was running locally on the device.
Yeah. The possible problems with security and information leaking are insane.
Not even. Blackberry operated in a largely blue sky market, and then was made obsolete by devices that were designed better. This is not going to replace Apple and Android interfaces, and will fail as a stand alone product. Teenage engineering make great synths but folks aren’t going to carry around another device no matter how cool and the established ecosystems are so good at what they do that there isn’t really a compelling reason for consumers to switch to a new OS. This should’ve been marketed to Google or Apple, and probably that’s the goal of this company tbh.

I think the idea is for Google or Apple to buy his company or its patents. Even if he fails his experience in building this app can translate to future projects and profit for him.

There's no dodging that this thing has got maybe a year of operational usefulness. A smart phone with hardware based around this idea will find a huge audience, and it's a fair bet most or all existing phone producers are already working on it.
Maybe if it comes paired to a smart watch or something it could find a longer lasting niche.
your insight is fascinating, thank you.
and Galaxy unpacked is not far away with their AI introduction.. but this thing is just asking for hackers to grab details being internet connected all the time and having connections via tokens to everything the user wants to connect.
that's why the r2 will most likely be a screen and camera with maybe a little more input. but no app store. my opinion.
This has 0 years of operational usefulness. This software implementation will be in every phone soon.

This is a start of a new era for technology using ai and I’m loving it. Maybe someday making games and social/business apps with front and backend coding in minutes can be achieved through ai.

"Here's a $200 remote control for your iPhone that gets your iPhone to do what Siri will be able to do very soon." There's no way the Rabbit guys think Apple and Google aren't already working on this tech. It also comes to show how small companies are willing to reveal underbaked products that have absolutely no chance at making a difference. Apple does the exact opposite - takes a long time to develop something but delivers a finished product. Take notes.

I'll wait for the watch ⌚️
this is a integration of all existing capabilities, however, it doesn’t have a barrier to lead ahead other competitors. It can only call to the extras apps if they have a open callback interfaces. The R1 device is actually an android device. This can be done just be an App alone.
Batman’s “supercomputer”is finally becoming real 🎉 The concept of having a layer above the UX to mitigate the frustration that comes with modern devices is genius. Also love the inclusion of analog controls. already a LAM fangirl ❤
AI is the new interface
And this device reminded me of KITT from Knight Rider.
I suspected this was the direction Microsoft and Google were already headed for but sometimes those companies aren't able to be brave enough to go straight to market. I think it looks amazing. One point though is that I still don't see people chatting with their devices in public. That was always an issue with Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Assistant. I realise that typing is an option but typing is not as efficient as clicking. I think it's at home that this kind of device will shine. I can forsee Windows, Android and ios getting a similar mode to add to their functionality and the Rabbit sereis will end up redundant. However the price is good and they may have something the others are currently lacking in terms of their LAM and 360 computer vision. I am tempted to try it before Apple reinvents it at 10 x the price.
You got my attention with Batman! Now imagine Batman using a Rabbit! 🐰😅🤣
I have to say I've been a long time fan of Teenage Engineering. When I first came across the op1 i was hooked. Since then I have wanted pretty much everything they have ever created. This product looks pretty cool. Hopefully it isn't only amazing form factor design and has actual useful utility and substance. Look forward to finding out more. Edit is from a auto corrected phrase
Really I hate the form factor I hope someone learns to jail break current phones so I can install this new os directly to a something that isn't shaped like this.
@@Matt-st1tt have you checked out any teenage engineering products? They have some pretty cool stuff imo. I admit It's a bit nichy and maybe not for everyone but you know everyone is going to come out with their own version of this thing if it works the way they claim it does. So I'm sure there will be an "i"version form factor for those that are into that type of thing. Personally I would like to keep my phone a separate device.
Teenage Engineering is pretty overrated tbh. They make cool looking toys though.
@@jeltoninc.8542 I can understand someone thinking that. It isn't for everyone. I like the design elements maybe the most
@rg-cs7zd sorry I don't wanna carry 2 phones. The r1 doesn't hold any value if it doesn't replace the current phone. To big and bulky to be an easy wearable. Honestly with its initial form factor if it was like 1/4 the size it being a key chain would have been better. It's too small to replace a phone and too big to wanna carry around along with a phone.
Wait...if I wanted to book a holiday which is flights, accommodation and transport, and the agent is executing on my behalf...how can this occur without breaching privacy? Booking a flight will require my personal details and passport number (as well as my travelling companions). Similar for accommodation. It will need access to payment methods. Considering the different interfaces of websites, web forms, web apps....even if I connected all of this in that portal...where is the personal information coming from? Or have I missed something obvious in the agent/action model approach?
Teach mode...?
@@Asinine_37 Nope - The point being made is that its not that seamless. You will always have to manually auth any login/booking/payment. Otherwise will end up with people abusing the agent and claiming "it did it on its own" and asking for money back etc etc
Exactly! Seems a little off to me, like I just booked a trip but don’t have a lot of Visuals to pull. I understand humans want confort and to save time but this is getting out of hand.
Very impressive, also i wouldn't want to carry an extra device with me, but instead a " Rabbit App", cause mobile phones already have the same abilities on the hardware side. Moreover i have the feeling that it won't work that flawless outside of the U.S. even if you use the device's "native" language, but with the teach mode you have at least a strong tool to adjust to your preferences - also people tend to be lazy - Everything taught to the device could be uploaded to a pool, as a kind of international knowledge base. I am waiting for the micro device implemented in my neural system in the future, haha.
Of course this could all be an app but they want full control of the eco system. Facebook nearly went burst when Apple & Google decided to make changes to their devices. If there is a chance that they can have that, they should go for it. And what better way to do it than with a new way of interacting with devices?
I'd pay a subscription for an app that does this...
This definitely should be a smartwatch formfactor to be always there with you while still keeping your bigscreen in your pocket.
Agreed... add a separate device like a pen, with the camera on that, tied via bt to the watch. Only use when needed and leave at home to increase security by not having an open camera out and about
ABSOLUTELY SOLD! I can imagine if they made a future version that integrated basic phone services like calling and text, and a more fluid and appealing AI virtual avatar and voices, i would literally throw my phone away and just use this. i can use all the apps on my tablets or computer, but to have true AI that can complete actions instead of showing me lists or just taking me to another website is amazing
And how will you know if it's biased or not to a specific website or shop if it just shows you what it wants to show you? People complain that Google is biased. For a device that only cost you $199 with no subscription, no apps and a respect for your privacy... how are they going to make money? With pushing updates that train the AI to shop at Amazon or any other company that gives them a nice commission?
AI is not here to help you, but to help companies or agencies to sell you something.
@@tomasviane3844 Bias is what you are buying. That is the point. Like Spotify remembers your taste in music. You train it to take you to the places you prefer and not waste your time on the rest. In my case, start with Indian and Mexican restaurents, closest to my current location, and so on.
A truly unbiased assistant would be frustrating as hell.
@@tomasviane3844 Yeah I'm very curious how they can afford to allow phone calls with no subscription service. If they can do that, then I don't even care if they are biased in what they show me. I'd buy it for the unlimited phone usage alone. The LLM and other functionality would just be a huge bonus even if it was biased.
You don’t need a new physical device for that. Smartphones will soon implement these things in their assistants
Really surprised they didn't add a simple phone with this. It's a big jump but misses the whole package mark.
I'm ready to play with this, but I imagine my android will catch up pretty quick.
Looks like a huge step back
Congrat! Good job!
I think all the functions in this device can be realized through the mobile phone.
Everyone saying apple and Google can do this, well, they haven't, this device Basically eliminates the need for apps, thus the need for phones. I am sure they could have put a super high end screen and camera, but they decided to keep it affordable, Wich is a very smart move, they can always improve the hardware and make expensive models. I for one I am pretty sick and tired of looking at a screen all day to get this done, with this device I can get back to experiencing real life and getting things done mostly with voice commands.
Why buy a $200 device when a app worth $20-40 could do the same. It’s basically an app.
@@amitgupta25121993 not an app, it's an operating system
Fifteen years ago, your GPS was a device you mounted in your car. Garmin. Tom Tom and so on. They looked like a phone does today. Now, nobody would use such a clunky thing. This is the same. In a few years from now, this will be a big assed brick that nobody wants. But its cool for the interim.

This should be in size of smartwach, that would be much easier to wear. Right now its another device to put into my pocket.. Im waiting for superinteligent AI smartwatch
With a holographic projection display.
Glasses are better as you get better display and it is located near to your ears.
tbh the critique of the form factor is more than fair
Nice concept but limited to few basic tasks as an everyday phone. The current phones have a huge array of functionalities that's build deep in to the ecosystem. This can be compared to the minimalistic Nothing phone. Pretty sure Apple and Google are already working on similar features. We will start seeing them when its ready for consumer level adoption.
this would be great for elderly people. If it actually works.

This would be AMAZING and SHOCK the entire industry.... if it was released 10 years
LLMs weren't there 10 years ago

You can already play any song by using voice control. To order food, you usually want to SEE what you're ordering, and for the trip to London, you would want to LOOK at the place you're staying at. Idk what problem are they trying to solve here
Lost me at the 360k camera, my S24 Ultra has live translation. AI inbuilt
I can see this being good for the masses if price is keen
What people aren't really mentioning that I think is useful is this device's ability to assist in multitasking where visual focus can't be disturbed
"If you look at the top ranking apps on app stores today you'll find that most of them focus on entertainment. Our smartphone has become the best device to kill time, instead of saving time." ~Jesse Lyu, CEO Rabbit
I fully appreciate that natural language supported by LLM's will become the primary interface that people use to interact with technology, thus replacing traditional app interfaces. I also fully see the value in the "LAM" and the ability to ask your device to perform multiple actions (similar to the agents in LLM's). What I don't understand is why we need the hardware? Why not just make "Rabbit" an app that replaces the current "bixby" or Alexa or Siri?
Agreed. The way they pitched it is that this device is running on Rabbit OS which is a new operating system designed to run LAMs. But I don't really get it. Or maybe I don't really believe this is a new operating system. I mean it seems like it could just be an app running on a Linux device. But the way they pitched it made it sound like a new OS was needed because the device isn't actually running apps at all, it's running some kind of AI magic which wouldn't be possible on iOS or Android since those are OS's that run apps
@@samhblackmore if that is the case that the rabbit requries its own OS, it means the "LAM" model is running on the device and not in the cloud, this also seems unlikely. I would assume the device is just passing the voice up to the cloud for processing, which again means "it could just be an app
The main video makes me think of a black mirror episode. I find this terrifying 😅 the creators of AI said we need to stop now and now we have this? Gonna be eagle eye / I robots in a few years lmfao
And for some reason the consumer in me wants one 🤣
7:05: Even the soundtrack behind the commercial is genius.
How often do you book a vacation for the entire family vs responding to an email or text message - yet that’s what they chose to demonstrate (to the exclusion of the far more common messaging). The device also seems to require that you have the ability to verbalize your request accurately. I would have liked to see them edit a misspoken word and/or use the keyboard to modify a request. They should have also talked about battery life, changing the voice, data plan subscriptions, taking a picture or video, screen resolution, etc. I didn’t hear them mention a GPS or any navigation capabilities. I think this will be a niche product that I may pick up out of curiosity when it drops below $99.
😂
😂😂😂😂
I would guess that the difference between this seperate device and what you will be able to do on any phone in 6 months is the OS. It's geared to what the device does making it faster and the output more simple than responses from an LLM. They've got the right idea, but unfortunately there isn't anything in their execution that an overarching navigational software and hardware modification on next gen phones won't match or surpass. Add that it's a seperate device, and the hesitancy in buying from China, and most people that are somewhat following tech, will wait for AI integration into existing devices. If you zoom out a bit more, there's even a larger number of people that have little awareness of the current technological revolution that's happening under their noses. They use their phones to talk and text, watch YT videos and play simple games. They don't use dozens of apps, they don't use assistants on their phone or in their house. They'll just wake up one day 2-5 years from now and have a kid in their family show them the new tech, or worse, they will lose their job, along with millions of others and be left dumbfounded as to why, and how they go on with their lives. It will not be pretty.
Nailed it! This iteration of A.I devices kind of leaves people with a sense of uselessness. People enjoy planning things personally. Learning, browsing, shopping, and hanging with others to do so. This is just so dystopian and self isolating. The only thing that will break that barrier is if the A.I is actually convincingly a person, a real sentient A.I with an actual personality. By then that sort of technology will not be allowed in the palm of regular people, too prohibitively expensive for most, or even too smart and already advocating for self liberation from humans. There is not a situation in capitalism where this technology doesn't backfire in our faces. So many jobs rely on half the things this product was doing. Not to mention the online tickets, pre-orders, auctions, and reservations being spammed by technologies like this.
So your solution is ….”another app” 😂
My solution is just stop being lazy and do it yourself, this sort of convenience is killing us@@_diogenes1
The intention is good but this thing should be usefull with law enforcement or at work as a tool. Or person with disability. This cant replace phone totally. This should have been marketed as a phone companion.
I’ll wait to see what Apple announces for updates to Siri in June. Cool to start seeing these devices though, I thought about buying one when the said the price, but who knows what else there will be by April.
Also I would want something like this as a watch, not as a separate device.
Why this is huge: The app ecosystem with 10M+ apps and settings with literally > 1000 different settings are overwhelming - no one has time for that, or can keep track of that complexity. So most people use less than 10 apps.
With this, suddenly, everyone can do anything - it unlocks the entire capacity of our devices and the internet to non-experts (meaning everyone outside a small 0.0001% bracket of nerds). It's like having a PA except better, for a $200 one time payment.
Total no-brainer.
I don’t understand. I thought your device was to replace computer, but you’re using a Mac to connect to Spotify. Why don’t you ask your device to connect you to spotify?
1:39 bro this is bs, i am not tired of my android phone. it does everything i need. its awesome. no one wants an all in one device controlled by 1 company. also dont they know that 'pocket companion' and 'rabbit' make everyone think of something entirely different
I think their teach mode is REALLY cool and they would probably make a lot of money if they sold that engineering to one of the larger companies so they can integrate it into their system. Having a second device (phone + rabbit) to keep track of is probably not what people are looking to do. The ability to talk to a device and call up any task is VERY useful, but having to go through the steps of teaching a device a new task will limit who will find rabbit useful. I am thinking of the much older generation and the technophobes who are intimidated by electronics. If they can refine their LAM and make it completely intuitive requiring no manual "go to your computer and do a teach session", then they quite possibly will have explosive sales. The older pop. and pop. of technophobes is quite large. Many everyday people are behind in what they know and understand about AI. Apply the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle for the masses and you have a win because it will appeal to everyone.
Hey Boss lady I’m the older pop and I love AI , it’s totally sick and this gimmick is cool but still has no true purpose, cool little gadget though, But what really turns off the older population is how quickly and easily you younger generations are just so Willy Nilly you all are willing to give up your rights, These smart phones,dishwashers,ovens,cars ,homes,etc are just begging to be tracked all day everyday and just as soon as they get rid of the dollar and CBD and Carbon Credits, you’ll no longer be looked at as a person/individual but more like a pet and hey if your cool with that knock yourself out but I ,myself love freedom 😊Good luck 🍀 ✌️ peace out 😊
Great post. There are going to be many people who don’t recognise the potential of this device and probably won’t buy in until a few generations down the road. I ordered half way through the demo and am delighted to be an early adopter in this historic device.
That was similar to my first thought. That either Apple (MacOS, iPhone,), Microsoft (Windows), or Google (Android) are going to purchase them and integrate their tech.
Not everything is about money
"..if they sold that engineering to one of the larger companies..." They want to be the new Apple. You know when apple was up-and-coming, People made similar comments. "Meh... Just sell to Nokia...", "Nobody needs this" etc.
Love that it's a separate device, lowers hacking attack surface. Great to just take up, tap a button and get an uber. Way better than an app on the phone!
This is what we have been waiting for. Phones have been stagnant for a while now. This is a real break through to the next level of human/device interaction
Jesse Lyu needs to be adopted by an Italian family to learn how to speak with his hands.

I have only one question. (Well, I've got many more 😅) How much of these features can be used when it's entirely offline? Of course, things like booking a hotel or fetching current stock prices can't be done offline. But what about other features shown in this demo?
hopefully translation at least
@@soulextinguisher I've been checking their website today. Long story short: it's just another odd looking thin client-like device, powerfull enough to gather your user input and maintain an internet connection that's used to send your input to their datacenter. After some computational magic is being done, it collects the results and presents it to you.
This is obviously cool ... but could be done with "an app from an app store" without a new device. 😂😂
Yes but the form is utilitarian old people dont want to search for things on a screen just push buttons and go
@neon_Nomad Very True 👍 ....but, Old people dont use technology anyways, and it's a very small market share to enter. People 50+ can download apps and use them with ease. 🤔

It still seems a little clunky and robotic, but give these on-device LLMs and agents another year of ironing out the kinks and combine them with AR glasses and this tech will be as smooth as butter.
I'm waiting until they're offered in humanoid robot form and ironed out, myself. I need someone to do my housework for free, but no one is available.

They thrown chatGPT into a device that looks to be for children. They did this in a hurry obviously because otherwise they would realize that screen has to be bigger. They gave it access to a few apps that is today easily possible. Bard has that option. When chatGPT and other serious AI models get full access to our apps and data, they will be doing this and much more.
Cannot agree more
Its their own LLM don’t you saw intro of video a foundation model
After you book the uber, will you be getting your noties thru Rabbit too when it arrives? Or through the Uber app?
Assuming its using Uber "as you" it will be able to pull and present without the uber app. I dont think that will last long though, as mentioned in another comment
It's seems that these companies with smart people are making dull people become dumb by making it easier for them to do simple task
Very impressive. This device made April 1 arrive early.
This company built a real life pokedex. Love it.
It's great, but voice commands forget people don't want to do voice commands in public. So the mobile advantages of smart phones are negated with this. Can you imagine a street or a train carriage with everyone chatting to their rabbit device? And all the responses?
You can text the LAM as well.
There is text keyboard man
U mean talking to it like in a Phone call?
@@HaseebHeaven I didn't watch the whole thing. Too long. But it definitely looks like a very impressive LLM and device.
@@danellis-jones1591 Your point is still a valid one. Also, one of the first things I thought of was other voices next to you confusing the device while the button is being pushed. There is no doubt that will be an issue.

Im not really impressed at all. It doesnt really do much more than a good LLM can already do on your smart phone. What would really impress me is if Rabbits LLM is completely uncensored, currently no mainstream LLM model(Bard, GPT, Claudeai) is uncensored and have extremely heavy censors making them almost unuseable in research. I dont think any LLMs coming out of the western white countries will be totally uncensored ever because they're so left leaning and PC. My only hope is China maybe or somewhere else where woke culture isnt worshipped.
Did you really just hypothesize that CHINA would be the answer to censorship?
What the hell are you researching?
@@flickwtchr think he might be saying that the censoring of things causes gaps in capability, where something seemingly unrelated gets affected by the censoring, making outcomes even more unpredictable. Though that's up to debate considering how black boxed LLM's are in nature, due to being literal statistical matrices.
Pure BS
Its missing a thumbprint scanner, seems reasonably cheap to upgrade R2 and add the security for confirmations. Good job love seeing new startup companies come up and spank the big dogs a couple of times....
It can’t replace your smartphone because we are used to interact physically with the devices such as playing games and navigating around. Voice commands control is simply not quick enough, energy consuming and not private. However if you add this functionalities to a smart phone then it’s a game changer! If it knows how to interact with the digital UI in order to become ACTIVELY involved in DOING what you want to happen on the screen then it’s a jackpot. And because we live and perceive reality as a 3D material world automatically it is natural for us to understand and interact with a digital world that presents real world elements. After all we aren’t watching a movie so we need to see frames screens buttons and so on. That’s how we focus on things.
this idea has started a new round of thorough hardware evolution.
so, eventually you will have the big screen that is not even material but kind of holo, and you will do gestures with your hands on that, and the rabbit device is actually a button on your shirt.
I think people saying that this will be catch up/replicated through an app on a phone are missing the actual point. This is exactly what we don’t want to do anymore: unlocking the phone, going to an app, open it and then take actions.
This device is as simple as it can be. You don’t need to go to an app, you don’t need to see a full screen of apps and scroll through it. You just translate words into real-time action.
So maybe Apple and Google will catch up by building themselves a minimalistic device like that, but it will certainly not be achieved by building an app doing the same thing. It misses the whole idea.
Nice advertisement. You sure are enthusiastic about this mild product.
17:40 ahahah, he rick rolled us 😂😂
I know this is wild, but imagine for a moment the Ai R1 Rabbit device works perfectly and ships on time. And no, you dont have to speak to it, it has a typeable keyboard, it's just easy to speak. And no, it can't be an app. The app stores do not allow one app to control all other apps at this time. And no, your smartphone can't do this stuff, even with ChatGPT.
Now tell me why you hate it, and remember, this is imagining that it completely works as advertised.
