A friend just sent me this photo. I’m sure it’s going to be the first of many errors. 😅

Rabbit left critical API keys hardcoded and exposed in its code, which would have allowed them to see and download “all r1 responses ever given.”
The main problem with Rabbit R1 really is that it could just be an app. There’s no reason any of these AI devices should be designed as dedicated devices like this.
The discovery that Rabbit is using Android under the hood really proves this. And their defense is inadequate to prove their need for the design.
Just make a phone. Make a Rabbit phone if you sincerely believe this design is required to make their LAM work. You’re already almost there.
I don’t want MORE devices. I, especially, don’t want a dedicated device doing something that literally is an app.
Not can be an app. It is an app. It’s already an app. Rabbit R1 is an app.
Large Action Models do sound pretty interesting. But this product is nonsense.
Also Marques Brownlee isn’t going to kill them with a negative review. They’re going to die on the hill they’re defending by releasing an app as hardware.

It’s worth noting that other companies already in this space are already looking to enhance their existing technologies with new capabilities and enhancements that companies like Rabbit are exploiting, but likely more first party. Apple is actually rumored to be enhancing Siri.
So by pushing a standalone device, Rabbit could, actually, be putting themselves at risk of being just a flash in the pan.
And…of course…generating e-waste.
Bear in mind the device, itself, does zero AI inference. The device, itself, is a connected device that acts as a communication intermediary and all of the intelligence is server-side. The device, itself, is literally a phone with WAY less capability than existing phones.
The device doesn’t do anything phones don’t already do.
It could, easily, be an app.
