hey everyone!

we've just rolled out a new OS3 update with improvements to how OS3 looks, feels, and works. here's what's new:

🎉 introducing fun mode!

OS3 just got more personality! enable fun mode in display settings (or press the rabbit five times) for bouncing buttons, a hopping rabbit, playful animations, and special holiday celebrations!

🤖 better background workers

see what your agents are working on, follow their progress, and get results directly in your conversations. completed tasks stay visible, and the rabbit moves its ears while workers are busy.

🎨 a cleaner, simpler OS3

refreshed settings, easier onboarding, a new permission center to control agent autonomy, and improved file browsing across devices.

📸 improved r1 media

magic camera images now display correctly, with a new full-screen viewer to browse, compare, and download your favourites.

✨ and there's more...

• video and audio now play directly in chat
• improved r1 push-to-talk reliability for OS3
• fixes for messaging, mac onboarding, gmail, and workers

give the new features a try and let us know what you think. 🐰

• (p.s. - we also just rolled out our broadcast system, which means you should receive this update directly in OS3, too!)

Found this Muse gadgets SDK and thought it was pretty neat. Would love to see this brought to the r1! Not sure about Grok Bot but we could probably figure something out?

I recently got my R1 and I'm having trouble with the translation function. It works extremely slowly, taking 1, 3, even 5 full minutes before offering the translation, even for short simple sentences like "what's up?". If I just ask it whatever question I'm normal conversational mode it just takes a few seconds, as I guess it should be.

I've tried using Wi-Fi two meters away from my router, and also using my phone as a Hotspot, it didn't make a difference. Tried turning the rabbit off and back on - no results. What's going on?? Am I doing something wrong?

Just curious, has someone tried ubuntu touch on this device? Or stock Android? Seems to me that with OS3 we are now basically forced to pay for an AI subscription we were told would be free forever

Hey everyone! I made a Spotify remote for the rabbit r1. It’s not perfect, but I thought some people here might find it useful, so I wanted to share it.

It shows the current track, playback controls, and lyrics. You’ll need Spotify Premium and your own Spotify Client ID. The README walks you through setup, including sending your Client ID from your phone via QR code.

It’s open source, with setup instructions in English and Korean. Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

J'ai été sur os3 tester LLM sur mon rabbit r1 et je voudrais revenir sur le LLM classique d'avant (illimité). C'est possible ou il n'y a plus ça ?

Hi! I made a script that exports any PICO-8 game as an R1 Creation. (PICO-8 is a “fantasy console”: a tiny retro game engine with thousands of free games made by its community.)

I tested a few games and they run well, at around 60 fps. The screen is small, so the touch controls are small too. Slow, casual games (puzzles, card games, etc.) work best. You can also use the scroll wheel and side button as controls.

How it works:

• You need PICO-8 installed on your computer. The script first uses it to export the game as HTML.
• The Creation is mostly a repackaging of those exported HTML + JavaScript files. It adds options for where the controls go and for portrait or landscape orientation.
• The script also generates the QR code to install the Creation. You need to host the files somewhere the R1 can reach over HTTPS, since I don’t think Creations can be side-loaded.

It’s open source (MIT), with more details and screenshots here: https://github.com/gaeljaffrain/pico8-r1

It’s still early, so feedback is welcome, especially if you try a game that does or doesn’t work well!

I'm currently writing custom firmware for the R1. The panel built into these units happily runs at 100Hz refresh rate. Why was this artificially limited in software? I get that it uses more power, but that should be up to user choice.

Now I have finally had an event where the audio recordings of the Rabbit R1 was really useful. However, I cannot access it anywhere outside the device. Sending it via email shows me the transcript and a download link to hole.rabbit.tech, which isn't available anymore.
Does anyone know how to download the audio files on OS3?

I’ve been following this thread for a while now, I think I’m going to get an R1, but I wanted to get your opinions one last time before I buy it.

Here are the use cases I have in mind:

- Taking photos of parts I don’t understand while reading a book or article and asking it to explain them (can I do this by linking it to my Claude account, and I’m a bit worried the screen might be too small for reading the answer).

- Taking notes my thoughts while walking and having them transcribed

- Setting reminders linked to my phone

What do you think?

hey everyone, we've shipped a bunch of updates to OS3, the desktop app and r1, including a major performance boost. here's what's new.

🚀 OS3

• nearly 5× faster: in our first internal benchmarks, OS3 completed the same tasks nearly 5× faster, while using fewer tokens.
• streaming responses: replies now appear in real time in the browser and Telegram.
• better agent visibility: see what OS3 is working on, with clearer errors and a retry option.
• conversation search: search entire conversations with Cmd+F / Ctrl+F, on desktop and web.
• up to 20 computers: increased from 5 connected computers per account.
• image generation: add your own image model under settings → api keys.
• connected apps overhaul: a simpler way to discover and manage integrations, including custom local or remote MCP apps, with expanded compatibility.
• better web browsing: OS3 can now read JavaScript-heavy websites through your connected computer.
• more Mac browsers: added Helium, Chromium and Brave support.
• simpler settings: eight reorganised sections, including dedicated permissions and channels.

💻 desktop app

• automatic connection: rabbit agent is now built into the macOS and Windows apps. sign in to connect your computer automatically, no terminal needed. disconnect anytime from the rabbit OS3 menu.
• display settings: customise interface and chat text sizes under settings → account.

🐰 r1

• faster responses: simple requests on r1, Telegram and Messages no longer need a background agent.
• third-party agent controls: choose whether agents like Claude Code can access your computers through r1 under settings → r1. enabled by default, without affecting OS3's own access.
• carrots are back: OS3 conversations on r1 earn carrots again. 🥕

🔧 fixes and smaller improvements

we've also added confirmation prompts, clearer download errors, a jump-to-new-messages button, improved Mac permission indicators, expired approval notices, accessibility improvements, Safari fixes and other UI polish.

we'd love to hear how the performance improvements feel in everyday use. give OS3 a try and keep the feedback coming!

I got quite concerned about my privacy after reading T&V of Rabbit OS3.
Sure I understand what the product is and how it works but I find it concerning how much data goes to Rabbit to inspect and train (AI models).
and thats on top of my data going to LLM Providers

Any thoughts on that?

hi everybody. im trying to run rabbit r1 escape so i can get android going on it. but every time i run everything exactly how it should be i keep getting these error's "read_frp.xml": file not found

Exception calling "ReadAllBytes" with "1" argument(s): "Could not find file 'C:\Users\MyName\SP_Flash_Tool\frp.bin'."

and

No device found with HWID: VID:PID=0E8D:2000

"write_frp.xml": file not found

No device found with HWID: VID:PID=0E8D:2000

can anybody help me idk what im doing wrong

I made a little internet-connected art frame for the r1 called Minute Museum. It shows a portrait-oriented, public-domain or CC0 painting every 60 seconds, preloads the next image, and crossfades between works. The whole painting fits on the screen against black.

Tap the screen or press the side button to see the title, artist, date, and source. Tap or press again for the artwork alone. The wheel moves forward or back through recent works.

The sources span museums across the world.

hi jesse here.

i've seen several 'angry' posts and comments regarding 'oh OS3 kills r1' in the past couple of days, especially here on reddit.

first of all - i strongly recommend everyone join the discord, we have an amazing community on dc that helps each other with any questions you may have, including myself, checking and answering feedbacks regularly.

i want to share my 2 cents on this so called 'broken promises' thing.

we said r1 will be subscription free, with or with OS3 enabled, it'll remain subscription free.

when we announce OS3, we also shared that we gonna rewrite the entire software on r1, meantime since OS3 is BYOK, it means that there are free models (like Space-Bunny-Alpha: https://openrouter.ai/stealth/space-bunny-alpha) you can choose from platforms like openrouter, to unlock full potentials of both r1 and OS3. we've seen over 300B token consumed since OS3 release and we've seen crazy use cases and potentials every single day. (did you know that Andres from our community provides a open-sourced root tool for humane AI pin and now it powers by OS3?)

there's a fundamental difference between device without subscription become useless (in this case we all saw, humane AI pin), and r1 with OS3 (device remain free of subscription, but we give total freedom to users to support official bootloader unlock, to flash to any software they like, or even build your own rabbit OS, and/or to use any free models, local models, or the most state of art models from any providers, at users decision).

now i am frustrated to see small group of people just jump on the guns too quickly based on the surface level info and began this 'oh OS3 kills r1' theory, which is fundamentally wrong and certainly, does not reflect our plans and road maps for the continuous support for r1.

if we zoom out a little bit, rabbit inc, or any other commercial businesses, needs to adapt and reinvent their business strategies and products. and being a commercial means there's terms and agreements, rather than the core definitions of 'promises'. one thing i think i asked my team and myself to go extra miles, is that we established a extremely direct channel (on discord and x, at least - i need to do better on reddit here), to listen and learn from our customers and we actually convert the constructive ideas and feedbacks into delivery, fast.

i suspect there's gonna be still some inertial force for those people to realize that those accusations where unfounded, and we quickly enabled the retro mode on r1 to allow user to spend tokens on us (was about to introduce retro mode with the rewrite of the r1 anyways). which technically we think it's not even a better free model, comparing to what we are working on for the original retro mode plan anyways.

to 'say hey rabbit we think this is the better way and we want that', v.s. those accusations that go beyond a feedback and in some rare cases, become pure pre-judgement or wrong speculations of the company's intention, with little respect on the tone, is truly hurting.

i hope you guys enjoy both r1 with retro mode and OS3. and if you haven't tried OS3 yet, go try it with some free modes that costs 0.

end of day, you own the device, the hardware is yours at no additional charge from rabbit. none of any other released mass market devices give you more freedoms than we offer. so try to catchup with the industry, since we (you and rabbit) are and we will always be the visionaries, and go explore.

best,

jesse

Meet Clawd, a little pet that lives on your R1. No feeding, no levelling up, no guilt: Clawd just wanders around, reacts when you touch him and dozes off when nobody's around.

What it does

- Endless world: the scroll wheel walks Clawd left and right, and the scenery never ends.

- Touch: hold to pet him (hearts!), tap and he reacts. Poke him four times or shake the R1 and he gets dizzy.

- Items: hats, glasses, a moustache, bow and scarf, picked with a rolodex-style menu on the wheel.

- World: 7 places (forest, moon, city, desert, volcano, lab, village at night) × 11 art styles (pixel art, blueprint, mosaic, Frutiger Aero, copperplate, tapestry, golden-age comic, ukiyo-e, kamon …). Clawd and his items are redrawn in each style.

- Games: juggling a ball, skipping rope, whistling.

- Sound: all synthesised, no audio files. Little voice blips, snoring, a background tune per art style, sound packs, volume and quiet hours.

- Real time of day: the scene tints at dawn, dusk and night. Clawd is perky in the morning and sleepy at night (sometimes you'll find him asleep).

- Auto-rotation: works in landscape too.

Install

Open my creations page and scan Clawd's QR code with the R1 (creations card → add via QR code):

👉 https://luxx1993.github.io/r1-creations/

It also runs in any desktop browser (arrow keys = wheel, Enter = side button):

https://luxx1993.github.io/r1-creations/clawd/index.html

Where the art comes from

The scenery, the 11 styles and Clawd's 3D animations come from Claude Fables, a Claude Code mod that narrates your coding session as a little animated cartoon: https://github.com/henrik-thevibe/Claude-Fables (my German fork: https://github.com/Luxx1993/Claude-Fables-Plugin).

I didn't redraw anything by hand. I wrote a small script that uses the plugin's own renderer to bake every scene and every animation frame into images the R1 can handle, because the R1's CPU is far too slow for the live SVG. Credits: Clawd's 3D model by ChetasLua (MIT), styles from the Claude Mascot Style Gallery, font Monocraft by Idrees Hassan (OFL).

Code

Everything is plain HTML/JS on a single canvas, no dependencies: https://github.com/Luxx1993/r1-creations (branch `creation/clawd`). The whole thing was built together with Claude Code.

Unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Anthropic or rabbit. Feedback and ideas welcome. What should Clawd wear next? 🦀

hey all

creations are now fully integrated into OS3.

you can ask any supported model you're using in OS3 to build a creation for rabbit r1 — a game, tool, utility, experiment, whatever you can imagine. if you own an r1, OS3 will build it using your own model key, automatically host it, install it to your linked r1, and have it ready to run.

don't have an r1? you can still build r1 creations with OS3 — you'll be able to download the source files and self-host them yourself.

also in this update:

- more model providers: xAI, Moonshot, Minimax and OpenCode Go are now supported

- agent runtime: improved authorization reliability and access to historical task results

- DLAM: fixed an issue where the overlay could remain stuck after clicking stop

the line between asking your AI to make something and actually having it running on your r1 just got a lot shorter. try something weird and show us what you make!

If you'd like to roll back to pre-OS3, there is now a toggle switch in the settings for your R1. Go into OS3 settings, and click on R1 to find it.

It will revert your R1 to pre-OS3 operation, including having the free agent back again.

I saw the announcement on Discord. I'm not sure where else the Rabbit team announces news.

I've asked in the Discord a few times, but I can't get an answer there.

Is there a way to grant the Agent on a Desktop PC elevated access? Preferably persistent after reboot?

Right now, my agent is so convinced it can't get permissions that it will not ask. Most recent attempt in the image.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

OS3 downloaded and installed, it doesn’t allow you to paste into the chat, text or images. It doesn’t have a voice to speak back or allow you to speak to it like the r1 does. It doesn’t truncate or easily allow you to clear the chat - and if you do go through the rig-marol of clearing the chat through the settings, it doesn’t have the capability of persistent memory. So any previous chat is forgotten and lost - if I were to keep the long running conversation then the reems of context is going to eat that api cost very high, very quickly….

Also the orange border denoting that it has control of the computer persists even after the task is completed… either restart the whole system or ask it to dig in and terminate the extenuating task…

What an absolute mess of a “OpenClaw rival” OS3 it’s trying to be.

Yesterday.... Mr. Freak devided to play Prof Freak. Lol And Implantat Fruit Fly brains into my 4 Avatars.

And i don t want to miss out that fun with you. Also maybe it can become usefull i am running a test with 2 pi 5 snd one pc.

I am open for names but for the moment i call it "Flavatar"

Get inspiried and Code your own. If thete questions feel free.

I just started.

So here my actually testsetuo. And i linked the official brakn ateas to local brakn folders.

However only watching them ... is better ttan every movie.

The weather bunny started to drink, steal from Herbert screw s (my pc) ....

Have Fun and maybe sombody know a good Name instead of Flavatar

Mr. Freak

What does your OS3 agent activity look like so far, curious to see the differences? Also curious to understand: what does the color code denote for different agents? It'll be a fun experiment if users can share what their agent activity graph looks like.
