Rabbit R1

🟠Possibly Dead

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.

Core launch integrations were pulled, the 'Large Action Model' pivoted to a generic agent, and no major release has shipped since mid-2025. Site still loads and accepts orders.

Olive AI

🔴Shutdown / Dead

Olive was a healthcare RPA-and-AI company that hit a $4B valuation in 2021 after raising over $900M from General Catalyst, Tiger Global, and Vista. Customer hospitals reported the bots underdelivered and were difficult to maintain. After multiple layoff rounds in 2022 and 2023, Olive sold its two remaining business units to Waystar and Humata Health in October 2023 and shut down. The brand is gone; the website now serves a single sunset notice.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Rabbit R1 still work?

Yes, the device still boots and answers questions. But most launch features (Uber, DoorDash, Spotify control) are gone or broken.

Did the Large Action Model ever ship?

Not as advertised. Rabbit pivoted to a generic 'Rabbit OS' agent that uses scripted automations rather than a trained action model.

Is the company still funded?

Rabbit raised about $36M and still operates a small team, but has not announced new funding or major retail expansion since 2024.

Should I buy one in 2026?

No. A phone with ChatGPT or Gemini covers everything the R1 does, at higher quality and without the hardware risk.
