At CES 2024 there was only one subject: AI on every device possible.
What stood out from the crowd was the R1 innovative device trained on GUIs to make your life simpler.
1/ What I like: It’s simple, it has a screen, a wheel, a camera, speakers and a side button
2/ What I ponder on:
$199 for the device and no subscription? Every request goes to the cloud, so how are they going to pay this without a subscription?
Response time is 10x faster vs. Chat GPT
Why is this not an app on an iPhone? The action button is there already.
Key takeaways:
1/ Soon each smartphone will be able to run locally an LLM, reducing many of the (inference) costs. Looking forward to having Siri do it.
2/ Rabbit r1 will fail, just like Humane AI Pin. LINK
3/ I’m so curious about what LoveFrom is building with OpenAI. LINK
