In a significant move that promises to revolutionize the AI landscape, Rabbit, the brains behind the innovative Rabbit R1 AI gadget, has announced a strategic partnership with Perplexity. This collaboration aims to integrate a cutting-edge “conversational AI-powered answer engine” into the Rabbit R1, providing users with live and up-to-date answers without the constraints of traditional knowledge cutoffs.
Traditional language models (LLMs) often struggle with knowledge cutoffs, limiting their ability to provide users with the latest information. However, Rabbit aims to break free from these constraints by incorporating a built-in search engine powered by Perplexity. This feature ensures that users receive real-time responses, offering an unprecedented level of dynamism in the AI experience.
In an exclusive offer, the first 100,000 purchasers of the Rabbit R1 will receive a one-year subscription to Perplexity Pro. This subscription, valued at $20 per month, grants users access to advanced LLMs, including the highly anticipated GPT-4. With the current exchange rate of $1 to R19, this translates to a considerable value addition for South African consumers.
| Subscription Benefit | Value (Rands) |
|---|---|
| Access to GPT-4 | R380 per month |
| No Additional Cost | R0 |
| Total Value per Year | R4,560 |
The Rabbit R1, designed by Teenage Engineering, boasts a 2.88-inch touchscreen, scrolling navigation wheel, and a rotating camera. Positioned as a pocket-sized universal controller, this AI gadget aims to streamline various tasks, from messaging and song selection to online ordering, all thanks to its powerful “Large Action Model” AI.
Perplexity AI, with its combination of search capabilities and LLMs like OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, is positioning itself as a formidable competitor to established search engines such as Google and Bing. The partnership with Rabbit not only enhances the natural language search capabilities of the Rabbit OS but also signals a collaborative effort to redefine how users interact with AI.

As South Africa increasingly embraces technological advancements, the Rabbit and Perplexity partnership brings a new level of sophistication to the local AI market. With the offer of a free one-year subscription to Perplexity Pro, South African users stand to gain significant value from the enhanced capabilities of the Rabbit R1.
The collaboration between Rabbit and Perplexity marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI, breaking away from the limitations imposed by knowledge cutoffs. South African consumers, in particular, have the opportunity to experience a more dynamic and responsive AI with the Rabbit R1, setting a new standard for AI devices in the region.
