## Rabbit launches standalone AI agent
Rabbit's new OS3 agentic operating system runs in the cloud but operates locally on Windows, Mac, and Linux devices without needing the R1 hardware.
## Connect up to five devices
You can add up to five devices to one account and choose your preferred AI models. OS3 automatically determines which devices, files, apps, and models it needs to complete tasks.
## Access OS3 multiple ways
Use OS3 through a desktop website, messaging apps like Telegram or iMessage, or on the R1 device itself.
## R1 production stops, cyberdeck coming
Rabbit has stopped manufacturing R1 devices but isn't abandoning hardware. The startup is developing a new vibe-coding cyberdeck that will run OS3 and launch within months.
## Privacy claims with caveats
Rabbit says OS3 won't store, copy, use, or sell your data, but it will keep chats and memories on its servers. Other AI providers linked to OS3 follow their own privacy rules.
## Key takeaway

Rabbit is pivoting from hardware to software, letting its AI agent work across any device while it develops a new cyberdeck.
