Rabbit, the company behind the underwhelming R1 device, is rolling out a standalone AI agent that you don’t need its hardware to use. The startup’s new OS3 “agentic operating system” runs in the cloud but operates locally across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices, allowing users to add up to five devices to one account, along with preferred AI models. OS3 will automatically determine the devices, files, apps, and AI models needed to complete a task. Access is available through a dedicated desktop site, a paired messaging app like Telegram or iMessage, as well as on Rabbit’s R1 device.
Though Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu tells Wired that the startup has stopped manufacturing R1 devices, it isn’t giving up on AI hardware entirely. It’s instead focusing on a new vibe-coding “cyberdeck” that will run OS3 when it launches within “months,” as reported by Wired.
Rabbit claims its OS3 system won’t store, copy, use, or sell your data. It notes that it will still keep your chats and memories stemming from them on its servers. Other AI providers linked to OS3 will also handle your data under their own privacy rules.
