Rabbit releases cloud agent that runs without its R1 device
The company said OS3 runs in the cloud but acts locally on Windows, Mac and Linux machines, and Wired had the story first.
Rabbit is rolling out a standalone AI agent that does not need the company's R1 hardware, The Verge reported on Tuesday. Rabbit calls it OS3, an "agentic operating system" that runs in the cloud while operating locally across Windows, Mac and Linux devices.
Wired had the story first, according to The Verge, which credited the earlier report. The Verge called the R1 underwhelming in its own description of the company. Rabbit's claims about what OS3 can do are the company's own.
No price, no launch date and no model provider appear in the summary the paper has. Rabbit has not published figures on what OS3 costs or which models it calls, and neither outlet's account of the rollout gives a start date.
Agent products that run across a user's own machines raise the question of what permissions they hold on the machine. Neither account describes what access OS3 asks for, and Rabbit has not published that detail. The paper has not run it.
