16th May 2025 - do you remember? r1 does 
hello @everyone in our wonderful community. we’re proud, excited, thrilled, overwhelmed, and even more similar adjectives to bring one of r1’s biggest updates yet to you, right now. 
r1 has a new memory log, where you can add your memories to give r1 context for all future interactions - and we’ve even found a way to help you kickstart it from the get-go.
- after today’s OTA update finishes installing, simply go to your r1 settings and enable memory from there.
- this will trigger a helpful interview from our very own adorable bunny memory operator, in realtime.
- the operator will ask you a few questions to get you started, and the answers you provide will get saved straight to the new memory. following this, you can add more memories via r1 or rabbithole.
you see, memory is most helpful when, just like a human assistant, it knows as much about you as possible and uses that context in all replies. for example - perhaps you’re trying to eat more healthily. you could save that as a memory, and then whenever you ask r1 for restaurant or recipe recommendations, it will keep that in mind with what it tells you.
you can also use memory to modify the personality of your r1. you might save a memory that says “from now, you will always address me as sir” or “remember to always speak like a pirate!” - imagine combining the right personality with the right magic voice and r-cade skin for the ultimate personalised unlock!
that’s not all. our new memory layer can do a lot more. it can trigger teach mode lessons and LAM playground sessions based on any context that you give it, including the creation of routines. for example, you might save a memory that says “when i say good morning, you will tell me the news in my local area, then you’ll tell me a joke, then you’ll trigger my teach mode lesson to send a facebook messenger message to [name] to say good morning!” - you’ve now created a repeatable routine, just from two words, using memory to tie different r1 functions together.
and this is just the beginning. memory is a powerful unlock, and we’re looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

enjoy, and keep sharing your feedback and thoughts!

20th March 2025 - spring has sprung….and so has an update! 
Summary
hi everyone- what day is it? it’s thursday. but more importantly, it’s OTA day! so sit back, let it install, and soak in that update-y goodness.
what’s new? 
- let’s focus. LAM playground now has a new option, which we call focus frame! it’s a new tool that lets you select part of the page that you’re on, and have the rabbit agent focus specifically on that given area for context and follow up tasks. focus frame can only be used in LAM playground sessions started from rabbithole.
try the following things with focus frame to get started.
- click a shirt on a clothing website and tell LAM playground to “find me more like this”
- select a complicated sentence in a research paper and ask “what does this mean?”
- highlight the ingredients section of a recipe on a cooking website and type “convert this to metric”
-
developer mode is here. as part of our commitment to our developer community, we’re officially providing a way to unlock the bootloader on your r1 hardware, flash alternate operating system images, and flash back to rabbitOS too. click here to learn more about how this works, and check out the new developer/modding categories here and on our discord.
-
deferrable OTAs have landed! ever been out and about with your r1 when an update hit, and you got annoyed that you couldn’t use your r1 until you found power and wifi? yep, we hear you. this update fixes that for all future updates after this one, and you’ll be able to defer the update to a more suitable time.
12th February 2025 - love and carrots are in the air 
Summary
update time! break out the flowers and chocolates for a romantic update 
what’s new? 
three new valentine themed rabbits have landed - try asking your r1 to be your valentine, or say “Happy Valentines Day” for a new animation and to cycle through them!
what we fixed:
- your generative UI now loads at least twice as fast as it did before (seriously - it’s fast) and will be more consistent between queries.
- we saw some issues in some cases since our last update with weather location accuracy and the wrong units being used, even with the correct region set. this is now fixed!
enjoy, and be sure to keep sharing your thoughts and feedback with us!

16th Jan 2025 - rabbit r1 adds multi-language support
Summary
welcome to 2025.
rabbit is starting the year as we mean to go on - r1 now supports multiple languages!
r1 now supports changing the default language, starting with 12 more language options in addition to english.
these languages are:
- Chinese (simplified)
- Chinese (traditional)
- French
- German
- Hindi
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
- Swedish
we intend to add more languages over time, so let us know what you’d like to see supported!
how does it work?
on the home screen, scroll up twice to enter the settings menu, where you’ll find a new option that says language. select it, and choose your new default language. after doing this, you’ll be able to speak to your r1 and have it speak back to you in the selected language, and the r1 texts and settings will also be localized.
if the accent doesn’t seem quite right with a generative voice, be sure to update your genvoice prompt in rabbithole to match.
for more info, check out our full press release here!
other improvements and fixes: 
- the 2024 holiday rabbits are now available in your r-cade collection! these special rabbits can’t be recycled and can’t be won in the capsule machine.
- we added a placeholder frame in magic gallery for images that are still generating. if you take a magic camera photo, then immediately go to magic gallery, you’ll see the placeholder appear until the image has finished generating.
enjoy, and be sure to keep sharing your thoughts and feedback with us!
