Rabbit releases OS3, a cross‑platform agentic operating system usable without the R1
Rabbit announced OS3, a cloud‑backed, cross‑platform agentic operating system (also delivered as an R1 update) that can be accessed via browser, Telegram, iMessage, or a local agent node on Windows/Mac/Linux. The company says OS3 uses its DLAM (Direct Large Action Model) to execute local software tasks (including writing and debugging code), links up to five machines per account, and will be the software foundation for a forthcoming ‘cyberdeck’ device rather than an R2.

2Jesse Lyu doesn't think the Rabbit R1 was a flop. Lyu's gadget was among the first in the gold rush to create dedicated AI hardware that acted as a virtual assistant. You could speak into the R1 and ask it to complete tasks for you—book an Uber; order food on DoorDash. After a buzzy launch at CES 2024, it earned scathing reviews. All the agentic stuff on the R1 just didn't work that well. WIRED gave it a 3/10 . Sin…
The startup’s AI agent can operate locally across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. Rabbit, the company behind the underwhelming R1 device , is rolling out a standalone AI agent that you don’t need its hardware to use, as reported earlier by Wired . The startup says its new OS3 “agentic operating system” runs in the cloud but operates locally across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. According to Rabbit, you can add u…
