rabbit inc. is developing a personalized operating system (rabbit OS) powered by a proprietary foundation model called the Large Action Model (LAM) and dedicated consumer hardware. LAM is described as a model that understands intentions and acts across multiple apps without bespoke integrations or APIs. rabbit plans to launch its first standalone device, the r1, co-designed with Teenage Engineering, and will unveil the device and rabbit OS on January 9, 2024 at CES. The company says rabbit OS can operate interfaces, perform end-to-end tasks like booking tickets and ordering groceries, and does so without requiring users to create new accounts or pay additional subscriptions. The new funds will be used to expand headcount and accelerate development of the r1 device and rabbit OS. rabbit is headquartered in Los Angeles and was founded by Kaggle Grandmasters, ex-Google engineers, and repeat entrepreneurs; Jesse Lyu is founder and CEO and Alexander Liao is CTO. Rabbit (rebranded from Cyber Manufacture Co.) is developing Rabbit OS, a bespoke platform underpinned by a custom AI model that observes and operates desktop and mobile user interfaces. The model aims to comprehend complex user intentions and execute tasks across apps — Rabbit says it already interacts with high-frequency consumer apps like Uber, DoorDash, Expedia, Spotify, Yelp, OpenTable and Amazon on Android and the web. The team plans to extend support to Windows, Linux, MacOS and niche consumer apps next year, and is building a framework to test, observe and refine the model along with cloud infrastructure to validate and run future versions. Rabbit also plans to release dedicated, affordable hardware as a form factor to run its platform and sell custom devices alongside licensing the platform. The company has not released a product yet; early demos have, according to the team, attracted "tens and thousands of users." Rabbit is a small team of nine people working out of a founder's house, reports a burn of about $250,000/year and has $20 million in funding from outside investors valuing the startup at roughly $100–$150 million per a source.
