The Rabbit R1 has had quite the journey through its highs and lows over the course of this year — starting strong on a ground swell of hype at CES 2024, and eventually launching to a lot of negative reviews for not doing what it promised (including from us). On top of that, there was just the key running issue in our testing that many of the features we were told about didn’t work as intended (bugs aplenty).
In fairness to the Rabbit team, they have worked hard in the background and delivered 16 over-the-air updates to bring new features, fix bugs and speed up pre-existing features. But the real heartbreaker at launch was that the promise of this Large Action Model (LAM) agentic AI never truly came to pass.
