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.
Please do, otherwise it just makes things look better than they actually are. Someone might buy it off of this video alone and think this thing is actually fast to reply to questions. Could lead to dissapointment and "dishonesty" in this video. But at least it seems faster than the Humane AI pin lol.
I purchased this for my ADA family member under this exact impression after watching your video. I really wish you at least mentioned that things were edited in it, as your audio is mastered in a way that it looks like you're simply panning or changing camera views, not clipping out all of the 'downtime'.
Lew, it's kinda sus that you only mention this in a comment and not in the video, and since it seems to be a paid partnership from the description (also not mentioned in the video).
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.
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.
How is a blind person even going to know what the device is saying? Like if it says "its a beautiful sea with dolphins jumping around" how is he going to process that if he has never seen anything?
@Hypagon not sure about accessibility apps. This for example could open a supermarket app, order your list of groceries, checkout and pick delivery slot for example. It obviously integrates AI too
@@brivnii $200 no subscription vs the AI Pin which is $800 with $24/month sub. The AI Pin is a brick withouth a subscription btw, you can't do anything without a sub.
@@eksot how are they going to survive without subscription money? they need powerful server farm to serve all those requests. Even if some part of AI model is on hardware it needs to connect to servers.
@@Chipsaru im wondering about this too, however I'm not too worried, cause they had to convince the investors that they'll make money + the CEO has built up many industry leading startups winning global awards so at least we can be calm. but yeah, perhaps they'll launch an app for those who say "why no make an app for this" and that app being with a subscription or something. Or, they might be getting money from doordash, spotify and other collaborators for bringing users/clients
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
@@coldsubstance6179 He's already said the audio is edited. It's okay for it to not be perfect, you don't need to outright lie to make it sound better. You don't owe Rabbit anything.
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?
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.
@@handsanitizer2457 it makes learning more fun and educational, pretty good for children.... And if you don't want to get something your child a phone yet this could be a good alternative
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❤
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
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!
@@Bricefriha I'll take a risk as it is only 200€ without subscription. I already ordered one in batch 7. I just wanted to know that this product is legit and they can deliver something. It looks much better than the Humane AI pin first impression.
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".
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.
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.
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
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 👌
while on the humane ai pin disaster i felt like this is what its actually about, and was feeling like this is the meaningful one, you are right, this is just easily adoptable by smartphones
The entire point is that it isn’t confined to an operating system. You can use it on all of your devices, any website, etc etc. Can you get an Apple app on an Android? Can you get an Android app on your PC?
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
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.
Still not sure why I would ever use this over AI on my phone e.g. Google lens etc. yep it does what it's doing well but don't think I did use it over my phone
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 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.
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.
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.
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..
Rabbit R1 - $199 Monthly data plan - $15-$40 per month (varies by carrier) Spotify Premium - $11 per month (individual plan) Midjourney - $10-$120 per month
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.
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.
@@Praecantetiait is quite quick overall, not instant but within 3-4 seconds is the longest I've seen it take to respond, and that's for fairly obscure things. A majority of the time i've seen it between 1-3 seconds in response time, it's fairly quick! It'll also give you really detailed responses even for more obscure items it seems.
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.
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 :)
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.
That's kind of missing the point of the device though. The novelty and industrial design aspect counts. Teenage Engineering also designed "playdate" which is a hand held gaming device. Sure, people can also play games on their phone but it's fun to play on a dedicated device. They are not mutually exclusive.
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.
The idea is to not be using screen on a phone. Kids nowadays are all addicted to their phones and consume useless information online. Something like this prevents that and at the same time encourages them to learn new things. I would buy this in an instant if it could somehow Still be used offline which is impossible at this stage
This blew the Humane AI Pin out of the water, and that is a good thing. However, I do wish that Rabbit R1 become a software company because AI on smartphone device are coming. To have an extra device is just cumbersome.
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
It's very obvious that rabbit r1 and ai pin could have been just application or baked inside the os but they made hardwares just to get enough attention from the big companies so they buy these little start ups
