Editorial summaries
r1
The Rabbit r1 is a $199 pocket AI companion device, unveiled at CES in January 2024 and still shipping into 2026, with no subscription. Its editorial throughline is the gap between demo and product: the launch demonstration of a Large Action Model (LAM) completing agentic tasks outran what the shipping product has consistently delivered.
Rabbit has shipped software updates since launch, but consistent agentic task completion is not verified. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as pilot.
Rokid Glasses
Rokid Glasses are lightweight (49g) AI and AR glasses with a dual-eye Micro-LED display, 12MP camera, and a voice AI assistant that routes to GPT and Gemini, plus fast real-time translation across 89 online and 6 offline languages. They are about $599 internationally (2,499 RMB in China); a non-display, audio-only AI Glasses Style also exists at $299.
Rokid has delivered more than 200,000 display units (about 50,000 overseas), making it one of China's strongest verified-commercial AI wearables and the genuine-AI counterpart to Meta Ray-Ban's Western dominance.
