Rabbit R1, a once highly regarded AI device, has seen shocking usage data recently. According to Rabbit's founder Jesse Lyu, out of 100,000 purchasers, only 5,000 are using the device daily. This news comes five months after the launch of Rabbit R1 and is certainly disheartening. Lyu mentioned that the device was rushed to market in an attempt to compete with large tech companies, but it evidently did not perform well.

Apple's progress in the field of artificial intelligence seems to be slower than expected. Recent reports indicate that the expected launch of Apple Intelligence, originally scheduled for September alongside iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, may be postponed to an October update. This delay may delight main competitor Samsung, as the number of Samsung Galaxy AI devices is approaching 200 million.

The Rabbit R1, launched by the startup Rabbit, has sold over 10,000 units in just one day, becoming a new favorite in the mini AI device market. The R1 features a 2.88-inch touchscreen and runs on the Rabbit operating system, providing easy operation and multifunctionality. The initial batch of products sold out faster than expected, showcasing strong consumer demand for convenient and efficient smart devices. Users can play music, shop, send messages, and perform other tasks with the R1 without relying on a smartphone. The R1 is expected to ship between April and May 2024, and its sales momentum has attracted widespread attention.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman denied collaborating with Jony Ive to develop artificial intelligence devices. Altman stated that OpenAI is not participating in the smartphone market competition, and its exploration of consumer hardware is still in the early stages. Regarding the rumored project involving the creation of a secret AI hardware device, Altman was uncertain about the details.
