Rabbit launched the R1 in January 2024 with a Teenage Engineering design and a 'Large Action Model' that promised to operate apps for you. Within weeks, reverse engineers showed the device ran a standard Android launcher and that the LAM was largely scripted Playwright automations. Most launch-day integrations (Uber, DoorDash, Spotify) broke or were quietly removed. The company has shipped firmware updates through 2025 but customer count, revenue, and the LAM roadmap have gone quiet.
Forefront launched in 2022 as a free playground for chatting with GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Claude, and image models in one interface. It briefly trended on Hacker News and Product Hunt and built a free-tier audience before paid alternatives like Poe and Perplexity captured the market. Forefront's chat app stopped accepting new signups in mid-2024 and the company pivoted toward enterprise data products. The original consumer site no longer functions.
Artbreeder launched in 2018 as a GAN-based image remix tool where users mixed 'parent' images into new outputs. It grew a strong community of character designers and worldbuilders. The team shipped a 'Collager' and a diffusion-based 'Artbreeder Composer' in 2023, but the platform never matched Midjourney or Stable Diffusion on quality and traffic dropped sharply. The site still loads and the subscription remains for sale, but the changelog and social feeds have gone quiet.
Inflection AI launched Pi in May 2023 as a 'kind and supportive' chatbot built on its own Inflection-2.5 model, raising $1.3B at a $4B valuation. In March 2024 Microsoft hired CEO Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder Karen Simonyan, and most research staff in a $650M licensing deal that left Inflection a hollowed-out shell. Pi still loads and answers messages, but new models are not in active training and the company pivoted to enterprise AI services.
