Editorial summaries
Even G1
The Even Realities G1 is minimalist display HUD smart glasses (44g, magnesium/titanium, looking like ordinary eyeglasses) with a monochrome green waveguide display and, deliberately, no camera, speakers, or audio. It does turn-by-turn navigation, teleprompter, real-time translation, notifications, and transcription well; its 'Even AI' is a thin cloud Q&A wrapper (Perplexity/ChatGPT), placing it at the veneer end of the AI-substance spectrum: the glasses are a good display device, the 'AI' is a light add-on. Pricing is $599 base, plus $150 for prescription lenses and $100 for a sun clip; about 1.5-day battery.
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.
