Rabbit has released OS3, a cross platform agent operating system designed to run tasks across multiple computers rather than sell new hardware. The software links existing desktop machines to handle complex actions using everyday language without storing personal data on remote cloud servers. It marks a clear strategic shift following the poor market reception of the original R1 pocket gadget.
Instead of acting like a basic chat window, OS3 runs actions directly on your existing computer hardware. The software links machines running Windows, macOS, and Linux together into 1 cohesive network. You can give an instruction in plain English, and the system breaks the request into logical steps across the connected hardware. It can organize files in a folder or gather information across multiple sources to assemble a presentation. All files, accounts, and private data remain stored on your own local drive.
Persistent memory allows the software to track previous work context. You do not need to restate project details on every new prompt. The system also supports custom skills and can interact with desktop user interfaces through DLAM technology, provided the user gives permission. Power users can even swap the underlying AI model while keeping their saved memory and connected hardware intact, with full support for custom API keys.
Users can manage the platform through a standard web interface, a Telegram bot, or by using the original R1 handheld device as a controller. Native desktop client software is already available for download on the company website for Windows x64, Windows ARM, and macOS systems on both Intel and Apple Silicon chips. Rabbit previously teased an AI netbook called Cyberdeck designed for programming tasks, but that hardware project has not received any updates.
