The source code for the rabbit LAM has been leaked: https://rentry.org/rabbitleak
For those of you who have come across this article from Hacker News, here is a short statement addressing some of the criticisms.
- It is true that companies have been known to fake demos, such as the case with the iPhone 1, but those instances occurred well before the product's release date. In this case, the company in question is allegedly faking a demo during the same month that their product is supposed to ship and be delivered to customers. This is a highly unusual and risky move for any company, as it would be easily exposed once the product is in the hands of consumers.
- The argument that the typo in the demo was intentionally included to catch potential leakers raises another important question. If the CEO was indeed trying to catch leakers, why would he want to include himself as a possible suspect? Furthermore, it would be a risky move for the CEO to intentionally include a typo in a demo that is meant to showcase the product's capabilities and generate excitement among potential customers.
Rabbit Inc. Faked Their Demo (Again)
Rabbit Inc., a tech startup that has recently gained attention for its innovative product, has been caught red-handed faking their demo in a tweet. The company, which claims to revolutionize the way we interact with technology, has fallen from grace due to two glaring inconsistencies in a recent tweet from Jesse Lyu (吕骋), the CEO of Rabbit Inc: https://twitter.com/jessechenglyu/status/1767275886288765349. Here is an archive in case he deletes it.
This exposé will delve into the details of Rabbit Inc.'s deception and the telltale signs that uncovered their fraudulent demo.
The First Sign
The first clue that raised suspicion among eagle-eyed viewers was a seemingly innocuous typo in the user interface. As the video showcased the product's features, a misspelled word was clearly visible on the screen. 
While some may argue that this could be an honest mistake, it is worth noting that a company that prides itself on cutting-edge technology should have stringent quality control measures in place. This oversight cast an initial shadow of doubt on the authenticity of the demo.
The Second Sign
The second and most damning evidence of Rabbit Inc.'s deceit came in the form of a discrepancy between the audio recorded live by the CEO using their R1 device and the audio being played from the web portal, the "reabbithole". Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the audio being played through the web portal did not match the live recording made by the CEO. Here is a subtitled video comparison.
This disconnect was a clear indication that the demo was not a genuine representation of the product's capabilities. The audio inconsistency suggested that the web portal's audio was pre-recorded or manipulated, further raising suspicions about the authenticity of the demo.
This is Nothing New
Rabbit Inc.'s recent deception comes as no surprise, given the company's history of questionable practices. Remember the r1 launch video and the subtle cuts when r1 is actually planning an itinerary?
Many consumers are unaware of Rabbit Inc.'s past, which began with GAMA.io (archive link), an NFT project started by Jesse Lyu. Unfortunately, the project was met with little success, which may not have been surprising to some.
In an attempt to pivot, Rabbit Inc. rebranded as Cybermanufacture Co. and developed a subpar version of OS2 (archived on May 19th, 2023), inspired by the movie Her. Here is an archive of OS2.ai where rabbit was still referred to as "virtual agents". However, these efforts did little to establish the company's credibility in the tech industry. Contrary to the claims that Rabbit Inc. has been researching app-navigating agents for 2 years, the entire development of r1 or their LAM ("Large Action Model") likely took less than 5 months.
This pattern of deceptive behavior continued with Rabbit Inc.'s latest product demo, which has been exposed as a fake. The company's history of deception raises serious concerns about its commitment to transparency and its ability to deliver genuine, innovative products. Consumers and investors alike must approach Rabbit Inc. with caution, given its track record of manipulation and deceit.
