Rabbit’s new AI agent doesn’t need an R1 to run
TL;DR
Rabbit, the company behind the underwhelming R1 device, is rolling out a standalone AI agent that you don't need its hardware to use, as reported earlier by Wired. The startup says its new OS3 "agentic operating system" runs in the cloud but operates locally across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. According to Rabbit, you can add up to five devices to one account, along with your preferred AI models. OS3 will automatically determine the devices, files, apps, and AI models it needs to complete a task.
Nauti's Take
Dropping the hardware requirement is the smarter path for Rabbit: an agent that works across Windows, Mac and Linux files and apps offers far more value than another pocket gadget. The catch is access.
Handing OS3 up to five devices and your own model choice opens a lot of doors, and after the rocky R1 launch Rabbit still has to prove reliability and security. Curious power users can experiment, while anyone on a sensitive work machine should wait.
