Rabbit just rolled out OS3, an agentic operating system that runs complex tasks across up to five connected machines from a single chat window. Powered by its DLAM tech, the system can autonomously browse, control desktop apps, and execute code on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Best of all, it supports bring-your-own-key flexibility for frontier models.
Rivian just rolled out its 2026.31 OTA update, bringing RivianOS 2 to all R1 models in the vehicle's biggest software overhaul to date. The update unifies R1 and R2 onto a single AI-defined platform with an overhaul of the UI, Unreal Engine real-time cabin visuals, and new granular privacy toggles.
Rivian just announced an Autonomy and AI day for December 11, where it plans to preview its "Universal Hands Free" driving system. CEO RJ Scaringe recently completed a two-hour test drive across Palo Alto with a second-gen R1 driving itself. Rivian targets a controlled hands-off rollout by 2026, though specific pricing and launch timelines may remain under wraps.
AI researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington just created an open-source reasoning model called s1 for under $50 in cloud compute. By distilling thinking steps from Google's Gemini into a Qwen base model using 1,000 curated questions, s1 matches frontier reasoning models like OpenAI's o1 on math and coding tests.
