Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app (arstechnica.com)

Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

I think it's a delayed development reaction to Amazon Alexa from 4 years ago. Alexa came out, voice assistants were everywhere. Someone wanted to cash in on the hype but consumer product development takes a really long time.

So product is finally finished (mobile Alexa) and they label it AI to hype it as well as make it work without the hard work of parsing wikipedia for good answers.

Alexa and Google home came out nearly a decade ago

Alexa is a fundamentally different architecture from the LLMs of today. There is no way that anyone with even a basic understanding of modern computing would say something like this.

Alexa is a fundamentally different architecture from the LLMs of today.

Which is why I explicitly said they used AI (LLM) instead of the harder to implement but more accurate Alexa method.

Maybe actually read the entire post before being an ass.
