This video is edited but rabbit r1 it is actually quick. Like 1.5 - 2 seconds for most responses. Jack edited this video for flow. I may just publish an unedited session as well.

A real life pokedex

Ladies and gentlemen - this is what a paid review looks like.

This device is what I call an android update away from being obsolete

MKBHD provides a real consumer review, no BS, tells the hard truth as it is and not influenced. How come this review seems paid and untruthful. Why edit the delay? Do you want to make it look like R1 is not a shitty product? Why are there trolls/paid by company commenters here. I'm out.

Rabbit sees dog. Rabbit: "Whats up doc"

Better than the Humane AI Pin.

Amazing tool for blind people. I can imagine a blind tourist standing on a square, pointing into different directions and exploring the beauty of the world. And also this device can guide around the city, pointing places to visit and endless other advices and assistance in day routine. There is a little friend in the box.

Reviews like this are why I’m glad we have MKBHD.

perfect device for the visually impared

Still 10x better than the Humane Pin😅

Just remember- it's a video edited to make it feel like the r1 is responding within a second of each query. We know from Jesse's video that it's not that quick

at this point this channel should just call themselves as independent marketers for tech

Why edit out the long pauses during the processing time? It'd be better for viewers to know the real world latency.

They made the box so nice because in 2 weeks of you using the rabbit that box is where it will remain

So this is just a bad phone?

Got mine last night at the launch party. Love it. My 6 yr old is already using it to ask questions about the world in a conversational way. BTW the case fold all the way around and is a desk holder that still allows the device to plug in.

When I was a kid I used to watch an animation show called Reboot - it was one of my favorite. One of the MCs was a guy by the name of Bob and had a device on his wrist which went by the name Glitch. I've seen these new devices come up and they remind me of Glitch. Would be nice if this tech was worked into smart watches❤

Rabbit really dropped the ball with this one. It feels like they tried to create something unique, but ended up with a product that's more of a novelty than a practical tool. At $200, it's way too expensive for what it offers. If they had marketed it as a simple toy for kids, maybe it would've been more forgivable. But as it stands, it's one of the biggest tech flops of the year. In the end it's just a tech demo with a lot of issues, a beta device to mess around with, not an actual product. Oh yeah, and it's orange so it must be cool, right?

I saw the MKBHD video, it actually has 3-4 seconds of delay while Lew edited it to make it look like 1 second

It seems to work better than I expected from the first batch of devices. I was waiting for some reviews, but I’m convinced and ordering one now. Thank you for the nice and quick review!

Now we finally have devices that can tell us what we are looking at. Great.

I'm actually really excited about this new device. The ability to learn applications and then execute them via voice is tremendous, the learning aspect of this device is great. The AI chat features are also very convenient to have and I like how it is more robust than the average GPT chats that are out there. The price point is perfect. I'm really eager to see how this evolves

There is not a single reason why this device couldn't be a phone app.

great person, seeing you since very long. good work

I'm just glad to see you are still alive and well 🙌

As soon as i can use this device to control my home assistant its an instant buy for me. Excited for future integrations as well as the teaching mode!

R1 has a touch screen, but it is partially locked for some reason, seemingly to encourage people to talk to it rather than type on it. The lock screen is to protect from accidentally issuing commands. i think this product has a solid foundation and a solid concept to build upon. The company needs to listen to the complaints and needs to get their LAM working as well as people expect it to work. LLM's are awesome with text, people expect the LAM to be comparably awesome with graphics. i plan to use LLM and LAM in a mutualistic relationship with each other. i view the Rabbit R1 as more of a desktop companion and also suitable for use while driving.

Finally the review ! Edit : still no idea of performance irl 😮‍💨

This will be great for some people with vision problems!

As a UI designer and technology enthusiast, the launch of the Rabbit R1 almost made me shiver. I always thought that smartphones would inevitably be replaced by AI terminals in the future, and that user interfaces would gradually disappear. You will no longer need applications, because all services will be linked to AI via cloud, and user interface and application concepts will disappear, leaving room only for "services".

me before watching the video: “huhh. I wonder why I stopped watching Unbox Therapy” me after watching the video: “ahh. I remember. they only do paid ads now.”

Are you jump cutting when we’re waiting on the response?

This thing would be amazing for old people i think. Especially the reading out loud of text with the camera

I like his optimism about a product that can easily be replaced by one update on a phone. Most people cannot carry 2 devices around and a phone is a lot more capable

I look forward to getting mine sometime in June/July time frame from the R6 batch. At least I get Perplexity Pro for 1-year. Quite excited after seeing these new videos as well as the keynote speech.

First time that I dislike an UBT video. Is so sad to know that you edited the video to avoid the time that the devices takes to answer your commands. That doesn’t reflect the real behavior of the device. So unfair for your followers who jump to purchase this trusting in your reviews.

I purchased for my father who is not good with technology and is almost blind. This will be enormously helpful. Particularly the eye.

The best things this device has at the moment are the quick spreadsheets to your email after drawing it on a page or the ability to speak a spreadsheet into existence and have it emailed to somebody. the stacked questions, the speed which is faster than other devices of its kind, the ability to point it at a document and have it summarize the whole thing, the ability to point it at a chess board and ask it how to win. I am waiting for it to be able to manage notifications then it will superceed the smarphone.

For people who are blind or have trouble seeing this can be a huge game changer. im excited to see where this goes.

we need a day in the life with this (i have batch 4)

This is the story about the time a rabbit, met a dog. It was love at first sight.

You hit the nail on the head when you said it reminded you of gadgets pre smartphones. Reminds of of when I was a kid and I had a similar sized voice recorder/changer with other funky sound effects like a portable soundboard! I don't know how useful it will be but there is a certain level of nostalgia it provides

the F5.5 is one of my top favorite knives of all time i am glad you have an exclusive version

I’m actually glad you did this review. I haven’t seen your channel for a while..

POKEDEX in real life!

Actually reminds me of the OG iPod Touch packaging - love it.

When you can link this to more apps and or operating systems, this will be a REAL game changer. This will be the bridge between softwares and services 👌

“When will the Maple leafs win the Stanley cup” Rabbit:System Error

A rabbit and a dog

Glad to see the rabbit r1 finally getting reviews

i think this is very useful for people who are older or visually impaired - not technologically inclined

It's just wireless chat GPT4. We will have this on our phones within the next 12 month.

This device is perfect for those who are anti-social media. Long have we had complains about media overload, but at this point in life you’re at a serious disadvantage without a mobile device. R1 fills that gap, gets your day to day stuff done and allows you to focus on being in the moment like the old days

It's interesting that there is a cut between each question and answer in this video. Why not show the actual responce time?

Wire it with a flipper zero, "Hey Rabbit, send DDOS attacks to every device in a 30 meter radius around me."

I miss the old unbox therapy

Bro.. it's a phone.... With no phone. My phone can currently do everything that thing can...

At the end of the day, it's an extra device you need to carry and charge and people won't want that. I predict it'll be replaced by an app on your phone as NPUs become commonplace. It's a great 1st gen device to advertise a new capability though - 100% should get credit for that contribution and I'm excited to see where it goes

I am intrigued by this, I like the fact I can interact more with my surroundings instead of looking back into a phone screen for my results.

like if your waiting for MKBHD review of this

The problem is....there are hundreds of millions of "rabbit r1" devices already out there, some with over a decade of hardware revision, with established users, brand loyalty, many are committed to multi-year contracts - and people experience actual anxiety when they're separated from said devices. Unless rabbit attempt to piggyback said market with a mobile app, I can't fathom how this project will ever succeed beyond novelty curiosity, which demands a maximum price of say, $40...at the most.

I could see this as an exellent companion for visually impaired people and a device you could have at get-togethers to confirm details in conversations and also keeping the conversation going. It kind of works like pocket Alexa. If you're used to talk to Alexa at home you could probably use this naturally on the go. Price is a bit high but maybe with time it'll get updated to be worth the money.

This video just gave me a serious case of the 'wow' factor! Absolutely brilliant 🚀

This is everything Google was promising with google assistant and wake actions / voice activation. Google also started adding context and other ways to remember and let you string together prompts. Sucks that google assistant is basically dead now, but we'll see if Gemini or this dedicated device will compare.

Atleast it works. Great job to the team. Very excited for them.

I'm very excited for mine to arrive, as I feel like whenever I open my phone I'm sucked into it with all the different apps vying for my attention. I'm also super interested in the Teach Mode. I can't wait.

I kinda like it! I think what's left in my before loving it is that I'm so accustomed to my phone it'll take time to change in me and in some people...

Why are all the videos covering this cutting in between chatting with the model? Is it really taking that long to process responses? To be honest the jumpcuts are not doing the overview any favors, even if its actually fast and we just dont know that as the audience..

Honestly 199 seems like an incredibly fair price for this. I am tempted to buy one.

Good Job Lou Explaining the current phase of this product and what it might become .

I preordered one after the launch party thing. What strikes me the most, is that this thing seems fun. Tech hasn’t felt fun for me in years.

Ahh does I was the only one who felt like An alien music 😅

You know what this thing is missing? Not LAM, Not any fancy AI feature, 3.5! It need a 3.5mm jack to complete the experience.

I love this. I hope TE makes a music creation function for it too

It's application for elderly and disabled folks who can't handle the quite complex interface of smartphones could be life changing. This can't be understated. I'll be exploring this path when I get one in a few months (batch6). For me personally, after decades in tech, I'm excited to use something different, smartphones are somewhat boring now being highly evolved tech that barely changes.

Hey... That's pretty good for a dedicated AI device!

Didn't expect this little device to work so well; its outputs are quick and detailed. Thanks for the introduction; I'll definitely be ordering one.

This is honestly super useful if it’s that intuitive and quick at responding. Amount of times I have a simple thing to look up it would be super sick to have.

One thing that amazes me about this is battery it stays at 61 percent throughout the video ❤

But why can't we get an un-eddited shot of how long you're actually waiting for it to generate a response? Interesting...

This could be incredibly helpful for a blind person, like they can actually go for a walk while the device guides them and tells them what’s in front of them.

For a product like this, we need to see the response time. The fact it was edited out paints a false picture!

Batch 4 here, can't wait to get my hands on this this summer sometime!

is the time between asking and actually getting a response edited here ? is this real time ?

Not once was the question and answer in one cut 🤦‍♂ Not a good sign...

i wouldnt take it around with me but id certainly buy one and keep it around the house for quick voice orders, questions and such

I have ADHD, depression and PSTD, i think this honestly may help me, having a separate device all-in-one to remind me things, set alarms, ask questions while cooking and things like that, WITHOUT the distraction of my phone :)

i honestly think this could very welll be a mobile app. is the device really necessary?

Damn all the cut after each questions… not once did you not edit it to see how long it takes the r1 to process the answer. How much were you paiiii*d for this ??? So sad.

I look forward to the accessories for this.

This is on the spot, the movie Her with Joaquin and Scarlett makes me want this

A display, a camera, and a built-in AI assistant? Everyone has one in their pocket, it's called a smartphone! 😂

This could have just been an app on a phone 😂😂😂

Hope this develops well. Would be amazing for seniors (and disabled persons, as many others mention)!

I bought one in February this year, can’t wait for it to arrive in the uk.

Waaaay faster than that humane badge thingy

Far better than Humane AI pin 😅

If you have seen the movie Her, you know that the Rabbit is a prototype of the AI terminal presented in the film. It looks like a smartphone, but it has no applications, no UI, and could even do without local storage. The HAL computer from the film 2001 The Space Odyssey is similar, its screen is only used to transmit information and not to interact, all interactions are managed by AI.

Towards the end he asks why its hardware instead of an application. I would use an app that costs money over this any day
