Rabbit’s new AI agent doesn’t need an R1 to run
Rabbit launches OS3, a cloud-based AI agent running across Windows, Mac, and Linux without requiring its R1 hardware.Summary
Rabbit, the startup known for its underwhelming R1 device, is releasing OS3, a standalone "agentic operating system" that operates in the cloud but runs locally on Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. Users can link up to five devices per account and integrate their preferred AI models; OS3 automatically determines which devices, files, apps, and AI models are needed to complete a task. The system can be accessed through a dedicated desktop site, paired messaging apps like Telegram or iMessage, and Rabbit's R1 device. While founder Jesse Lyu confirmed to Wired that Rabbit has stopped manufacturing R1 devices, the company is not abandoning AI hardware—it is developing a new vibe-coding "cyberdeck" expected to launch within months. Rabbit claims OS3 won't store, copy, use, or sell user data, though chats and related memories will be kept on its servers, and third-party AI providers linked to OS3 handle data under their own privacy policies.
