Rabbit Pivots to Software, Launching Cross-Platform Agentic OS 'OS3'
SimonBalmain · x · 2026-09-23
Two years after the Rabbit R1 flopped (WIRED rated it 3/10), founder Jesse Lyu is launching OS3, a standalone 'agentic operating system' accessible via desktop browser, Telegram, or iMessage — no R1 required.
Key points:
- A striking pivot from dedicated AI hardware to an agent living on screens you already use.
- Lyu insists R1 was 'ahead of the curve': its controversial VM-based app automation presaged Meta's Muse agent being banned from crawling Amazon via a VM.
- Agent capabilities have matured dramatically since R1's rocky 2024 debut.
No pricing or full capability details were announced.
