Deployment
r1 at US Healthcare
The Rabbit r1 is a $199 pocket AI companion device (a bright orange handheld designed by Teenage Engineering), unveiled at CES in January 2024 by Rabbit Inc (founder Jesse Lyu, Santa Monica). It was marketed around a 'Large Action Model' (LAM) that would operate apps on the user's behalf; an independent, reproducible investigation showed the device is largely a single Android 13 launcher app, and reviews judged it broadly non-functional at launch. Rabbit self-reported over 100,000 units sold, while The Verge reported only about 5,000 of roughly 100,000 buyers were active at a given time. The company has continued shipping software (teach mode, rabbitOS 2, rabbitOS 2.1 into April 2026), so it remains active, but the marketed capability has not been verifiably realized; the registry records it at pilot maturity (capability-grade) with the commercial-scale distribution captured in keyFacts. Reports of unpaid staff in late 2025/2026 are third-party and company-disputed.
