Rabbit CEO Jesse Lyu on the high-risk, highly-hyped r1 AI companion | StrictlyVC LA

Rabbit’s r1, a handheld AI-powered assistant, took CES 2024 by storm, selling out two initial waves of 10,000 units in just two days after it became one of the most talked-out devices of the event. With the r1 starting to be shipped out March 31 and 100,000 units already preordered, Rabbit CEO Jesse Lyu joined TechCrunch Senior Writer Devin Coldewey to talk about the device’s creation, how it operates and what’s next for the Rabbit team.

If you want another early look at the Rabbit in action, and are curious how its promise of supporting “large action models” actually works, look no further.
