The $200 Rabbit R1 is getting all of the hype, but is it just hype? There have been mixed responses to this device with some people saying it’s useless and others saying it’s the way of the future. Their keynote certainly wasn’t reassuring.
Rabbit makes it clear that the R1 is not a phone replacement. It’s a pocketable AI assistant. Gee, that kind of sounds like what phones can do though, doesn’t it?
Despite all of this talk about large language models (LLMs), rabbit introduces a new term: large action model. It’s supposed do things for you. Make reservations. Book a flight. Make recommendations. Get a recipe. It’s trying to go one step further than current LLMs and act on the information provided.
We do have to ultimately praise Rabbit. They made a relatively affordable device that at the very least with influence phone makers to give us more AI functionality in our phones.
