Rabbit CEO Jesse Liu said that the company's proprietary AI smartphone Rabbit R1 turned out to be of no use to users.
It is reported that today only 5 thousand people use this innovative development.
Liu shared: “We released a total of 100,000 of these devices, but they hardly sold at all,” as reported by the 4pda portal.
As the developers noted, the Rabbit R1 AI smartphone was presented to the public as a compact and smart device that can replace a regular smartphone.
Low sales
Liu emphasized: “We had to release the gadget ahead of time to get ahead of other companies.”
Ultimately, this circumstance led to the device being not quite ready for release.
In addition, due to the rush, many planned features that would have used artificial intelligence could not be implemented.
It is emphasized that a similar situation was previously observed in relation to the Humane AI Pin gadget, which went on sale in early 2024.
