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.
AirGo Vision
The Solos AirGo Vision is an audio-first AI smart-glasses line with a camera, built on the AirGo platform. Its SmartHinge system swaps camera and non-camera frame fronts and arms via USB-C. SolosChat is powered by GPT-4o, cloud-routed through Solos servers ('ask about what you see').
Pricing is $299 standard and $349 for the bundle, with a $149 camera front-plate. It is genuine cloud AI, though reviews note mediocre open-ear speakers and camera quality. Successors include the AirGo A5 (audio) and AirGo V2 (16MP, January 2026).
