We’ve got an AI teardown double whammy at iFixit HQ as both the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin arrive at our office AT THE SAME TIME!!! Reviews aside, these are two very interesting devices both from a design perspective and as a potential peak at how we may be using AI daily in the near future.
Which one is more deserving of your hard earned cash? That’s for you to decide. What we want to know is what the hardware looks like and whether it’s repairable. Let’s dive in.

if it was an app on your phone, then they couldn't sell you $30 of hardware for 200 bucks. I'm assuming this is how they pay for whatever cloud service they are offering... for now. As with any purpose built device like this, if Rabbit dies, this thing becomes a fully unusable brick as all of it's functionality is reliant on the cloud.

Finally someone who mentioned that part. I HATE any product if it relies on the company staying in business to work. The more independent it is of the company the more I love it. I have this software called FlowFrames on my laptop, which is not only free and open source, but also lets you download the AI models to your device so it works completely offline.

@@riba2233 I mean, this is purely anecdotal on my part but in my experience it IS worth comparing. It feels to me like, aside from energy density improvements and charging speed improvements, LiPo battery technology hasn't gone anywhere. Like some of my oldest phones still hold a decent charge, but they are the ones with removable Lithium Ion batteries. Meanwhile a lot of my more modern devices have degraded batteries. Ultimately the conclusion I draw is that the lifespan of LiPo batteries hasn't improved much, at least not enough to be significant to me. The 400 cycle count is very pessimistic tho, I can agree to that. In my experience 600 cycles is when it becomes a problem

@Clawthorne Ай бұрын

Oh. Suddenly it makes perfect sense why the Ai Pin overheats all the time, and why people report getting burned by the battery pack. Wireless charging coils. Unless those coils are 110% perfectly aligned, a huge amount of the power gets turned into heat. And they will never be aligned due to there being clothes in the way. And all that heat then gets dumped both into the SoC due to proximity and all the metal inside, and of course into all those solid magnets inside the battery pack. Also all that heat will degrade the battery rapidly... 400 charge cycles will become more like ~100, if not lower. And that's assuming it don't burst into flames due to overheating.

@Lizlodude 25 күн бұрын

3:53 I would like to clarify this point, usually these batteries are rated for something like 500 charge cycles *to 80% capacity*, meaning that after that number of cycles, they should still have 80% of their original capacity. Ideally low-drain devices like this will perform better than 500 cycles, but only time will tell what quality of battery they used. While it's still 100% a problem how hard it is to access the batteries, saying they're only good for 400 cycles is a bit misleading.

Sure it's a extra piece of hardware to carry around't but it's not a weird thing on my shirt or another thing in my pocket. I mean, I didn't think I would get a ton off use out of a smart watch, but bought one because I even got lazy about pulling my phone out of my pocket to check a notification, and have actually ended up using it much more than I thought I would. Rabbit, which is clearly just an app running on android, should have focused on making a great AI assistant that could be used on wear OS.

These are from two AI companies who realized two things. One, AI isn't profitable. Two, they aren't doing anything more than what assistants on phones and search engines do. Both drove them to doing very specific things that were inevitable for these types of companies. Sell a very inexpensive to produce device and, in the case of the Humane, sell a subscription to their service. The reason both of these companies will tank and the servers connected to these soon to be landfill fodder is because there is nothing these things do that your phone already does. These things probably cost under 25 bucks to produce. Now if this was 25 -30 years ago, this would make sense. It was like owning an MP3 player. If your cell phone could do music, you had to deal with battery consumption. If you want to change songs, you pressed an actual button to change songs, to stop and start. So a device that did a thing made sense because your phone either couldn't or it wasn't a viable option. We are at a point where creating garbage to do things your phone does already is just there to dupe people. As for the devices themselves. Companies need to go back to the drawing table and make their devices more repairable while keeping the solidity of the there. I don't know if that would be a twist locking system or a push down and to the side to take the back off, but this ain't it.

These devices should have stayed in raw diesel form.

Wow, the Humane pin is awful inside, too.

I use watches even when my phone can give the time. I believe these products are awful, but having a portable llm device can have its place. Apps and devices aren’t mutually exclusive.

People just finished eliminating all of their carry items in favor of just having a phone that does everything. They're not going to go back to having multiple items requiring charging, unless the other thing is a smart watch that can last at least a full day on a charge. AI gadgets are all "terminals". The device itself is an access point. A wireless screen with a button. There is no reason to have on whatsoever, when the phone already exists. But one cannot maintain a monopoly on software. Harder to stand out, when your only selling point is a single repeatable algorithm. Both Humane Pin and Rabbit are dead in the water. Though Rabbit is cheaper, so less money thrown away on novelty.

Both look pretty well engineered on the inside. Too bad they are worthless products. I kind of feel bad for the engineers who worked on them.

Well the rabbit looks like it was designed by a teenager - literally. In such a simple and basic design, they cant just add 4 screws to the back ? The Humane got really bad reviews on functionality and usability, but at least it has a mature design.

Honestly, these products are kinda a failure due to the concept. Most of the function on these can be done on a smartphone (minus showing image on the hand). To be fair, it's function being done on a smartphone isn't a good metric to say it's a bad product. E-readers, MP3s and Cameras are still good buys even if you have a good smartphone for people in the market.... The issue is if a Smartphone can do it better.... and overall, it's a yes... Also, "does this device on it's own offer any value on it's own that the smartphone can't give?" and "will this product be usable if the company goes down" and the answer to both is a "no" So, unlike E-readers, MP3s and Cameras, this is inherently a useless product.. even for a niche crowd, it's useless....

The main problem the companies don't want to admit is the things didn't need to be a actual product a app would of been enough

Most of the hardware in these devices is already done much better in existing smartphones. I don't understand why investors enabled an (inferior) hardware solution to a (fringe) software problem.

Should have reworded the intro to the second teardown. I get for your the second product in a product category if still new, but for us it was 30 servings ago and intuition says to do what you did with the first one.

@Emmbedd Ай бұрын

The second one is basically a battery and a camera for 700$

Sassy what you will, humane actually has an interesting idea, bad product but nice hardware with super interesting ideas and neat execution, albeit flawed

If you want to know how isheep ifix channel is just look at the mouse on the table and hear the terms used for certain components for the product. Damm its 2024 and we still have channels like this 💀
