17th april 2026 - we just keep shipping :ship:

hello again, @everyone of the lovely rabbit community. we want to thank you for the helpful feedback on the recent rabbitOS 2.1 update. our goal was to deliver substantive improvements across the board, and we’re very happy that those changes have been so welcome.. so, where did we go from there? well…

a brand new OTA update is rolling out to your r1 right now :boom:

here’s what’s new: :musicrabbit:

  • you can now set a full custom system prompt in rabbithole or from r1, which unlocks custom personalities for your r1 - you can finally have your r1 talk to you in the exact tone and manner that you like! we think you might have a lot of fun with this one… check out rabbithole experimental settings to set a prompt, or say “set your personality to….. “ to r1

  • you can now instantly email a magic photo to yourself from the magic gallery on device. that will make it easier to share your magic photos wherever you want!

  • we implemented another round of battery improvements for even longer battery life, as well as some new performance improvements for a snappier UI

  • r1 now knows quite a bit more about itself, so you can ask questions about how to use certain features

  • you can now manually set a reminder in the reminders tab, rather than only from the main screen via voice

  • journal entries are now cached offline

  • query chats no longer automatically scroll to the bottom if the user has already scrolled up

  • holding the PTT button in an existing thread now continues the same conversation

  • the viewfinder in vision mode is now larger

  • we updated the create screen for alarms and reminders

  • the openclaw and creations QR scanner now match the QR scan on r1 setup for consistency

as always, we’re dedicated to improving r1 as much as we can, and your feedback is key to help us to do this! so keep it coming and enjoy all these improvements :pray:

6th April 2026 - the easter bunny has arrived, with rabbitOS 2.1 :rabbit2:

Summary

well, hello again everyone - it seems the easter bunny is here with a HUGE BAG of gifts, rolling out to your rabbit r1 right now. pay attention, because there’s a lot to get through here and we’re excited to tell you about it! rabbitOS 2.1 has officially landed.

  • journal is now on r1 :blue_book:
    you asked for it, and we heard you loud and clear. your r1 now has a dedicated journal card so you can browse through your previous queries and save some favorite ones without having to load up rabbithole. enjoy!

  • magic camera v3 has landed, with legendary pulls :star:
    one common feedback that we heard when we upgraded from magic camera v1 to magic camera v2 was that the improved accuracy came at the cost of less fun. it turns out, randomness is fun, and a lot of you liked not always knowing exactly how the picture would turn out beforehand. so we brought some randomness back! with magic camera v3, the magic photos won’t always come out with the same style each time. as a bonus, you have a small chance every time you take a photo of generating a “legendary magic photo” with a unique style, marked like a “shiny” card in gallery and rabbithole. how many legendaries will you pull on day 1?

  • battery optimisations :battery:
    we weren’t happy with battery life, and neither were you. so we ran a full on exploratory mission to find out what was going on and made some fixes. your r1 battery should now last much longer!

  • save your favorite magic voice :speaking_head:
    ever wanted to experiment with a new magic voice, but you didn’t because you didn’t want to lose the one you already had? now you can, with saved slots.

  • double press and triple press of the push-to-talk button, now configurable :two: :three:
    you can now reconfigure both options to quick launch any service or any creation that you want! by default, they will remain camera for double press, and recorder for triple.

  • pin lock :1234:
    another highly requested feature, particularly for those of you who take your r1 on the go - you can now lock your r1 using your PIN. no more accidentally triggering a query from your pocket, and an extra layer of security!

please note, if you already set a PIN on your r1, it will now ask for it on boot. if you don’t remember it, you’ll need to unlink/relink your r1 from rabbithole. this will remove photos and recordings from device (they’ll still be available in rabbithole)

  • sound fx & animations :bell:
    your r1 now has a whole new set of sound fx and animations! they’re disabled by default - go to display settings and activate “fun mode” to check them out!

  • invert scroll wheel option :arrow_up_down:
    some people prefer a down scroll motion to move the contents down. some people prefer it to move the page down and the contents up. now you can choose!

  • creations card redesign :red_square:
    the creations card has been completely redesigned to match the rest of the UI for consistency

  • a new model for magic interface :new:
    it has been a while since magic interface got some love, and now it’s upgraded to a whole new model. go make some new interfaces, they’ll look even better!

  • DLAM is now accessible via rabbithole :rabbit:
    the DLAM agent can control your computer when you plug in r1, and with shortcuts you can create custom commands with precise, repeatable instructions. now we’ve added a new DLAM tab in rabbithole for easy access.

these updates, along with the recent magic recorder, represent the fruits (or carrots) of a project that was entirely aimed at fixing some of the most common community suggestions that we had yet to address since the launch of r1. we aren’t stopping here, so we hope you enjoy rabbitOS 2.1, and please keep sharing your feedback as we work on more new stuff!

3rd April 2026 - talk to your creations :mega:

Summary

hey everyone! as we prepare our next large OTA update, coming soon, we’ve snuck in a small but mighty cloud update that you can use right now, no update required for your r1 :muscle:

creations now support speech-to-text inside the creation! :partying_face:

previously, you could only input data into any given creation using the small virtual keyboard, which was not ideal. now, we’ve added voice. when you’re making a creation, you can just ask intern to implement speech-to-text capability, and it’ll build creations that you can interact with by speaking. we’ll also work on providing the code snippet for those of you making creations outside of using intern.

to give you an idea of how this works, we’ve updated the gallery with some new creations, at the top of the list (and one updated existing creation!) to give you a sense of how it works.

these creations include:

  • chronocrypt, an “infinite rpg” where anything you say gets worked into the story. solve the mysteries any way you want, but be careful - your actions might not go how you planned…

  • lil snips - save voice commands as one-touch prompts to go back to the rabbit agent and give you a reply

  • instant privilege - a translator with a twist. tell the creation a sentence in english, and the agent will convert it into the King’s English. tally ho, absolutely spiffing stuff, don’t you know. one enjoys this creation very much!

  • magic kamera with speech. an updated version of the community’s take on magic camera. hundreds of presets, now accessible with your voice.

enjoy, and feel free to get started making new creations that use speech-to-text!

25th March 2026 - introducing the ALL NEW magic recorder :magic_wand:


18th March 2026 - some new carrots to crunch :carrot:

Summary

hi everyone - as one of our alpha testers recently said “when the team goes quiet it’s because they are cooking” and that is very true. we have a lot of great projects in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to share more news about many of them soon!

in the meantime, we’re happy to share all the latest updates for r1, DLAM, and rabbithole. these are all cloud updates, so no device update is needed:

  • apple music is now fixed on r1, and now has the same live lyric sync as spotify. great news for apple music users - go check it out! :green_apple:

  • rabbithole account deletion and enabling developer mode are now both self-service from rabbithole settings :boom:

  • you can now unpublish previously published intern results from rabbithole :writing_hand:

  • we now support longer running tasks in DLAM :clock1:

  • we’ve added a batch of new creations to the creations gallery on device and website, including a suite of useful creations from community member @AlanK (a Weather creation, a Podcast player, and Maps). thank you Alan! :gift:

enjoy and as always, please continue to share your thoughts and feedback with us!

20th February 2026 - we call this update fatrabbit :rabbit:

Summary

people of the rabbit community! yes, we mean @everyone - it’s time for an update to your r1, so get your charge cables ready to download. this one is so chunky that we’re running low on carrots.

we’ve just shipped a combined over-the-air (OTA) update as well as a bunch of cloud fixes, so let’s get to readin’ and get to installin’

what’s new?

- DLAM shortcuts :fast_forward_button:
shortcuts is a brand new feature inside DLAM that is a combination of memory and prompt injection, so DLAM can learn and remember complex workflows, trigger words and instructions. click the gear icon in the bottom left of the DLAM interface to set one up. when you create a new shortcut, you’ll see input fields for name, description and body (instructions). so for example, you might set up a shortcut to let DLAM know you like to order 12 packs of diet coke from amazon, so that if you reference buying diet coke in the future, it knows to go to amazon, look for a 12 pack of diet coke, and add it to your basket (or even check it out!). there are all sorts of possible use cases for this, from running scripts, to typing out an extremely long workflow that you wouldn’t want to have to explain every single time. we’re looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

- spotify, rapped :musical_note:
not only did we fix recent issues which caused spotify playback to fail, we made it way better too. now when you’re playing a song on spotify, you’ll see live lyrics pop up on your homescreen, in time with the song that’s playing, the primary rabbit will change to the music one with headphones, and it’ll nod its head to the track!

what we updated:

  • we improved the latency on r1 queries to make it significantly faster! in internal testing, time to first response after asking your initial question has been improved on average between 20-30%, and in some queries, by as much as 50%! go ahead and ask a question to your r1 - you should notice it’s now significantly faster to reply.

  • DLAM session run times are now much longer, so you’re not limited to 60 minutes.

  • exporting all your magic camera photos from rabbithole is now more reliable, and you can also export all your photos at once.

  • we fixed an issue with OpenClaw where “heartbeats” (scheduled/system notifications from your OpenClaw instance) could cause the r1 to lock up in some cases, requiring a refresh or reboot.

  • we’ve added six brand new creations from you, our wonderful community members, to the creations gallery both in the public tab on device and on our website. check them out, and don’t forget that creations are now powered by opus 4.6, resulting in a much higher standard of creations that require less iterations.

enjoy and please keep sharing your feedback with us!

until next time,

:orange_heart: & :carrot:s

6th February 2026 - as fast as a rabbit: intern/creations + dlam now running on claude opus 4.6 :partying_face:

Summary

hey everyone - another day, and another great improvement to our agents.

Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.6, their latest state of the art model, so we immediately plugged it straight into rabbit intern/creations and DLAM as part of our agentic stack.

for intern/creations, this means stronger long-context reasoning, better multi-step planning, and more dependable tool use. our initial intern and creations tests have shown improvements in reasoning, planning, design and first-pass output quality.

for DLAM, since Opus 4.6 shows major gains on computer-use benchmarks, you can expect more reliable navigation, fewer mis-clicks, better window handling, and stronger end-to-end task completion as this rolls through DLAM.

overall, this gives our agents more autonomy and stability on real work, whether that’s generating, researching, or directly operating your computer.

here at rabbit, you can expect us to move fast, and keep our products and services in line with the latest advancements in AI. please give both intern/creations and DLAM a look, and let us know your results!

5th February 2026 - we just keep clawing away :lobster:

Summary

hi everyone - thank you so much for all of your support following our epic release last week of DLAM, OpenClaw support on r1, and the tease of Project Cyberdeck.

it’s been an incredible week, and we’re truly awed to see all the love and usage of both DLAM and OpenClaw on r1, as well as all the excitement for Cyberdeck. We’ve done blog posts, press interviews, amazing audio chats on Discord and Twitter Spaces, and the best part? we’re only just getting started :muscle:

in keeping up the pace with all these exciting changes, we’re happy to share that an OTA full of improvements is landing now to your r1 devices. This week, we focused on cleaning up some of the rough edges around the OpenClaw integration that we didn’t manage to land in time for the initial release.

here’s what’s new for OpenClaw on r1: :musicrabbit:

  • we’ve added an option in the r1 settings to reset your OpenClaw connection (settings > device > openclaw reset)
  • you can now swipe out of the OpenClaw screen to stop audio playback
  • switching to OpenClaw now defaults to showing the home screen
  • we’ve fixed the screen flashing whilst waiting for openclaw gateway approval
  • if there’s a connection error to your gateway, we’ll stop retrying it after a few attempts
  • we’ve removed a false positive on the “secure connection required” message
  • we’re allowing user messages to queue up when agent is responding
  • you can now swipe up from the OpenClaw home screen to access existing messages
  • we’ve renamed where it still said “Moltbot” to “OpenClaw”

in addition to these OpenClaw fixes…

  • we’ve fixed the text overlap on OTA release notes (this will apply from the next OTA after this one!)
  • we’ve prevented device reset before a countdown timer ends for a factory reset

thanks again, and be sure to keep sharing your feedback, and don’t forget to sign up for early access updates on cyberdeck if you didn’t already!

It’s wild how many enhancements / updates are a direct result of the community. Really shows how much the team is paying attention, vs just setting up a discord for the image of having a community. Bravo.

It calls me by my name for about 3 prompts. Then when I ask it my name it calls me “user” again. Gave up on trying to personalize that.

Not sure if the r1 would be able to tell us about the most recent OTA’s, but every time I try to ask it about the updates or mention terminal mode it navigates to the settings. Seems like the rules on asking for settings are a bit too open right now.

Specifically I was trying variations of the prompt “Does memory v0 in the latest OTA work in terminal mode?” I’ve tried similar prompts for the previous OTAs and ended up with the same result.

@simon Any reason why recall doesn’t currently work in terminal? I know its still early, I’d just love to use it at work without using voice lmao.

Not a single improvement on the entire purpose of this device, the LAM. Please don’t talk about the ability to look at your history as a LAM capability.

Hey - at least now I can connect it when I’m at a hotel!!!

Any ideas what has happened to last week? Just seems quiet as theres been an update weekly, my device arrives and then no update. Im hoping it’s due to some fixes in the background taking longer, but as an excited newbie it would be cool to get a glimpse behind the curtain on whats next.
