Developer plans to run llama.cpp on the rabbit r1, but says the chip needs an upgrade

A developer was considering buying a Teenage Engineering sampler, then remembered she owns a rabbit r1 — and now plans to install llama.cpp on it and build speech-to-speech apps. She likes the device's design, with its push-to-talk button, camera, and speaker, which makes it a good playground for local AI experiments like object detection and real-time STT/TTS, though the chip likely needs an upgrade. She also notes rabbit now offers vibe coding apps, community creations on-device, and jailbreak options, which renewed her interest.
