Huge Rabbit R1 Software Update Claims 5x Battery Life — Download Rabbit OS

The Rabbit R1 is a popular handheld AI gadget which can be your personal assistant. More like a pocket sized companion which you can carry around. The Rabbit R1 can work independently of your phone as it comes with a SIM card slot. While a recent discovery reveals that the Rabbit R1 is an Android device, it still remains quite intriguing to some users.

Since the launch a couple of weeks ago, the Rabbit R1 has received two major software updates so far. The operating system is called Rabbit OS. As this is a cloud device, the Rabbit team has two separate software updates. One is the usual OTA update which is on-device and the second is cloud update done in the backend.

The first update improved the battery performance by up to 5x! Added time zone selection to r1’s settings menu. The R1 now correctly reports time zone based on GPS location. Improved detection of server connections and reliability for Bluetooth connectivity.

The second update reduced LLM hallucinations. Check the full patch notes below.
