The platform lives in the cloud but connects to a local agent node on Windows, Mac or Linux, allowing users to issue tasks through a single chat stream. OS3 uses Rabbit’s Direct Large Action Model (DLAM) and a bring‑your‑own‑key approach, so there is no subscription fee but users must provide their own OpenAI or Anthropic API keys, or link local open‑source models.\n\nLyu, Rabbit’s founder, says the company sold more than 100,000 orange‑red R1 devices designed by Teenage Engineering, with return rates under 5 % and a 45‑50 % hardware margin. Rabbit has raised about $60 million total and now employs 15 people. After a rocky launch in 2024, the firm pivoted to software, delivering roughly 50 updates and building a Discord community of over 12,000 users. OS3 can automate routine actions such as updating spreadsheets, representing the user on Slack, or debugging code, while keeping file contents on the user’s machine and only sending prompts to the chosen model provider.","keyPoints":["Rabbit delivered over 100,000 R1 devices with <5% return rate and 45‑50% hardware margin.","Rabbit announced OS3, a cross‑platform agentic OS that runs via browser, Telegram, iMessage, or on R1 hardware.","OS3 uses a BYOK model, no subscription fee, and can execute tasks on Windows, Mac, Linux via a local agent."],"whyItMatters":"OS3 lets users automate everyday software tasks without building their own agents, lowering entry barriers for small teams and expanding the market for AI‑driven productivity tools.","category":{"slug":"agents","name":"Agents & Tools","url":"https://digestai.news/category/agents"},"entities":{"companies":["Rabbit","Meta","Teenage Engineering","OpenAI","Anthropic","Telegram"],"models":["DLAM"],"people":["Lyu"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-22T16:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-22T16:00:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Wired AI","title":"Rabbit Is Back, This Time With an AI Agent App","url":"https://wired.com/story/rabbit-r1-os3-jesse-lyu","publishedAt":"2026-09-22T16:00:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Rabbit launches OS3 agentic operating system for desktop and mobile\", 22 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/rabbit-launches-os3-agentic-operating-system-for-desktop-and-mobile","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Rabbit launches OS3 agentic operating system for desktop and mobile","datePublished":"2026-09-22T16:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/rabbit-launches-os3-agentic-operating-system-for-desktop-and-mobile"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
