You're not explaining why you have such a good feeling - is their team uniquely good, far ahead? Is there something specific in how they architected it? I think a lot of people are headed in this direction, they have a bad brand, the need to totally restructure their team, and probably bad equity structure now and a need for a down round, it'll be hard to get good talent.

The rabbit OS project is literally the only correct path forward for AI. Hopefully they go for local on device inference, as they removes cloud costs, solving the burning pile of cash problem most AI companies have.

Directly driving a user's device (or a device hooked up to a user's account at least) means an AI can do any task that a user can do, tearing down walled gardens. No more "my car doesn't allow programmatic access so I can't heat it up in the morning without opening the app."

Suddenly telling an agent "if it is below 50 outside preheat my car so it is warm when I leave at 8am" becomes a simple to solve problem.

I feel like I am experiencing so peak level trolling right now or am completely out of the loop. Are you guys seriously trying to make the point that that rabbit R1 deceive is the best think to happen to AI?

Not their device, look at their OS work.

Complete AI control over a personal phone. Anything a user can do the AI can figure out how to do.

That is the end game for everyone right now - a new class of ambient AI powered personal computing.

Do you guys really think these obvious marketing comments will work here?

I'm not related to them at all. I've written about this field independently - https://meanderingthoughts.hashnode.dev/lets-do-some-actual-...

The idea is a fully personal AI that can control ones devices to accomplish complex tasks. Rabbit is working on this through their rabbitOS project, lots of other players are doing the same thing. OpenAI is trying, and lots of open source projects. Even homekit has initial support for LLM integration.

IMHO controlling a phone directly is the best path forward. Google and Apple are best situated to exploit this, but they may be unable to do so due to structural issues within the companies.

Maybe. But everyone else here is celebrating Google being firmly inserted between them and any cognitive work they might do.
