Rabbit presented the R1 on Tuesday at CES. The device features a small 2.88-inch touchscreen and runs Rabbit’s own Rabbit OS. According to my colleague David Pierce, who got to try out the device during the show, it uses a «large action model» that acts as a «sort of universal controller for applications». This allows it to do things like play music, buy groceries and send messages through a single interface without having to use a phone. In addition, the device can be trained to interact with a specific app.
