Rabbit launches OS3, a cross-platform agentic OS, pivoting from the R1 hardware to software agents
Rabbit announced OS3, a standalone "agentic operating system" that runs across desktops, phones, and messaging apps rather than requiring its R1 gadget. CEO Jesse Lyu framed the pivot as validation of Rabbit's early agent bets, claiming the R1 sold over 100,000 units with under 5% returns. The move matters for practitioners because OS3 offers subscription-free agent access via a BYOK model, a departure from competitors' subscription pricing.

AI Overview
- Rabbit announced OS3 on Tuesday, an 'agentic operating system' accessible via desktop browser, Telegram, or iMessage—no R1 required
- OS3 uses BYOK API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models) with no subscription; one account links up to five machines via a local agent node on Windows, Mac, or Linux
- OS3's DLAM technology executes local software tasks and autonomously writes and debugs code; installing third-party agent skills requires only pasting a public URL
- CEO Jesse Lyu says Rabbit shipped 100,000+ R1s with sub-5% returns and 45–50% hardware margins; the company has raised ~$60M and employs 15 people
- Rabbit's next hardware release, arriving within months, is a 'Cyberdeck' vibe-coding machine running OS3; no R2 is planned and R1 manufacturing has ended
- Rabbit deployed ~50 R1 software updates in 18 months and hosts a 12,000+ user Discord; R1s can integrate third-party agents like OpenClaw or Hermes

Meta’s Muse hits Mac, letting the AI take actions on your computer
Meta's AI assistant Muse is now available on Mac, where it can act within native apps — files, messages, calendar, notes, and mail. The Mac release follows mobile and web launches earlier in September 2026 that topped the U.S. App Store. The move lands amid intensifying consumer AI agent competition with players like Instinct, reportedly raising at a $10 billion valuation.
