As I understand it, you can think of Rabbit's "stack" as a prompt to a standard llm (I think they just used openAI but I could be wrong) to understand what you want, and then a bunch of (brittle) selenium scripts to go call various websites to do the thing. The llm is there to understand that you've said "what's the weather?" not, say "call me an uber", and then to collate the responses from potentially several calls to websites and produce a natural language response. There is a layer of upsell/hustle/scam[1] on top of that where they said they had a "large action model" which learned your preferences and understood how all these websites worked sematically so the actions would be robust etc and a bunch of other stuff which turned out not to be true. [1] depending on your point of view. I would encourage people to watch ▶ this video and link and do whatever personal research and make their own minds up
See this video by Coffeezilla: ▶ this video It's a bit clickbaity, but turns out Rabbit was a crypto-nft-ai buzzword company with a very shady history.
If claims from this[1] video by Coffezilla are to be believed, the r1 is not their first questionable project. ▶ this video
These two videos by the YouTuber CoffeeZilla seem relevant for exposing more about the R1 and its operation: ▶ this video link
Coffezilla made a video on this company and their CEO. It makes total sense in that context. (That they're trying to make a quick exit before further things come to light) ▶ this video
