Rabbit launches OS3, a multi-device AI agent without R1

Rabbit launches OS3, an agentic system accessible on computers and messaging platforms, which no longer requires the R1 device. The company clarifies its data retention policies and is preparing new compatible hardware set to be announced in the coming months.

OS3 promises not to sell data but retains conversations

Rabbit states that OS3 will not store, copy, use, or sell user data. However, the company specifies that it will retain discussions and the memories derived from them on its servers. It adds that AI providers connected to OS3 will implement their own privacy policies.

Access on PCs and messaging platforms, task automation

Presented as an agentic operating system, OS3 operates in the cloud while functioning locally on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Each account can group up to five devices and integrate AI models chosen by the user. The agent autonomously selects the necessary devices, files, applications, and models to complete a task. Access is available through a dedicated desktop site, messaging platforms like Telegram or iMessage, as well as on the R1, although the agent no longer requires the latter to operate.

R1 production halted and "cyberdeck" planned with OS3

Founder Jesse Lyu states that the production of the R1 has been halted. However, Rabbit is not stepping away from hardware and is directing its efforts towards a new vibe-coding "cyberdeck," announced to work with OS3 upon its launch in a few months. The company, originally behind the R1, is thus aligning OS3 with a future hardware offering.
