  "account": "Yesterday, Rabbit unveiled OS3, a newly developed \"agentic operating system\" that runs across various devices like Windows, Mac, and Linux, and can also be accessed via web, Telegram, iMessage, or its R1 device. This hardware-focused company, which launched the controversial R1 gadget at CES 2024, has now pivoted its attention towards software updates to refine the R1 experience. With over 100,000 R1 devices sold worldwide, Rabbit has maintained a lean team of 15 members and has not raised any additional funds since its initial round of $60 million. The company's latest OS3 promises to be an open, cross-platform agentic system that connects to existing devices and leverages Rabbit's Direct Large Action Model (DLAM) technology to execute tasks and write code autonomously. Users can utilize OS3 through a continuous chat interface and integrate third-party skills without technical expertise. Rabbit's CEO, Lyu, highlights the company's successful delivery of more than 100,000 R1 devices, maintaining a 45-50% margin on hardware sales. He notes that the R1's modular design and open architecture have allowed users to customize the device according to their preferences. Rabbit is no longer manufacturing the R1, and the existing stock is dwindling as the company focuses on the new OS3 platform, which will arrive within \"months.\" The next hardware release by Rabbit, called the Cyberdeck, will be a dedicated \"vibe coding\" machine that runs OS3.",
