Rabbit sells out 10,000 units of its R1 pocket AI companion in one day

Preorders for two production runs of the $199 ‘Large Action Model’ R1 handheld AI device have sold out. A third is available now.

The R1, the pocket-sized AI gadget from Rabbit that’s supposed to use your apps for you, has already sold out of its first batch — and its second batch, too.

In a Wednesday post on X (formerly Twitter), the startup Rabbit announced that it sold through its first 10,000-unit production run in just one day. “When we started building r1, we said internally that we’d be happy if we sold 500 devices on launch day,” Rabbit writes. “In 24 hours, we already beat that by 20x!” The first batch of preorders is expected to start shipping in March.
