It seems that in the end, these AI products that aim to replace your smartphone are innovative… But not by much!
They are in the news in recent days and surely not for the things they would like. These “innovators” gadgets that work with artificial intelligencethe already famous AI Pin of Humane and Rabbit r1, have awakened us a little interest and enthusiasm for its disruptive concept focused on AI and its motivation to replace the smartphone, although in reality They have also left us with a lot of questions. which we are beginning to answer now.
The first of their drawbacks is important, and that is that they require all our data to function and that is not something we like too much, although this It is only a minor problem if we look at the experience of some experts as Marques Brownleewho after testing it affirm that the Humane AI Pin is for now “worst product I have ever reviewed”.
And now It is the Rabbit r1 that is in the eye of the hurricane after tests carried out by Mishaal Rahman in Android Authoritywhere following the trail of an anonymous informant they got a port APK launcher by Rabbit to finish by verifying that, in fact and after installing it on a Pixel 6a, it is only a matter of a simple android application run on custom AOSP firmware.
They intend to mark an era and replace the smartphone, but the functionality of these gadgets of AI could be condensed into a simple application for the smartphone itself
Well yes, the truth is that these devices focused on AI They offer practically nothing that your current mobile phone cannot doand in fact it is that all the Rabbit r1 interface appears to be handled by an Android app which runs on AOSP firmware customized by the manufacturer. And this is not that it is too innovative so to speak…
In his tests, Rahman was able to install that APK of the launcher of Rabbit on a Pixel 6a, running its interface without major problems and moving through its menus with the volume up buttonwhich would correspond to the hardware key of the Rabbit r1 device.
The biggest problem is that since the Rabbit r1 has a small display, the software was displayed on a portion of the Pixel screen. However, everything else seemed to work: you were able to create an account rabbitholego through its setup wizards and even ask a question to the AI assistant who responded without complications as shown in the video that we leave you below.
They didn’t try more things, of course, because obviously many of the permissions needed to run could not be set correctly on the Pixel. In any case, the fact that the Rabbit software works on a current Android smartphone continues to make the manufacturer blush, which in the words of Its founder Jesse Lyu wanted to respond to such revelations to explain how your software runs.
They say since Rabbit that are large language model (LLM) runs entirely in the cloud and Rabbit r1 could not be identified as an Android application at all, since AOSP base has been customized with lower level firmware modifications that are necessary for correct functionality.
Here we leave you their complete statements:
rabbit r1 is not an android app. We are aware that there are some emulators such as Rabbit OS websites or applications that are not official. We understand the passion people have to try our AIs and LAMs instead of waiting for their r1 to arrive. That said, to clear up any misunderstandings and set the record straight, Rabbit OS and LAM run in the cloud with heavily customized AOSP and lower level firmware modifications, hence a pirated APK installed locally and without the OS and proper cloud endpoints, you will not be able to access our service. Rabbit OS is customized for r1 and we do not support third party clients. Using a pirated APK or web client carries significant risks. Malicious actors are known to publish hacked apps that steal your data. For this reason, we recommend that users avoid these pirated Rabbit OS applications. Jesse Lyu, founder and CEO of Rabbit.
It doesn’t say anything new, be that as it may, well We all knew that in fact their processing would be done in the cloud and that obviously the basis of the system would have been modified to adapt it to their needs, although it is still a major reveal that AOSP is under the hood of the Rabbit r1 demonstrating that, although they want to become a substitute for the smartphone, they still draw on its heritage.
We’ll see what they offer us and how they develop as time goes by, but honestly, for now, I I don’t see that they can revolutionize practically anything some little gadgets that need access to all my data and that then they will allow me to do things that my current smartphone already does without problems or learning curves.
And you, what do you think of these Humane AI Pin t Rabbit r1? Will they be the future or not?
