After the failed AI gadget Rabbit is developing a laptop called Cyberdeck for vibe coding
Problems with Early AI Devices and a New Project from Rabbit
Large companies that tried to bring “AI‑only” gadgets to market faced complete failure: sales were zero, and reviews were negative. Nevertheless, developers continue experimenting. For example, Rabbit, which has still not found its footing with the R1, decided to try again – this time it’s about a project called *Cyberdeck*.
What is Rabbit Cyberdeck?
- Purpose – a device for “vibe‑coding” (programming via AI).
- Keyboard – unlike the R1, which had no keyboard and used only a wheel and a few buttons, Cyberdeck comes with a full layout.
- Features – command‑line work, built‑in AI agents, and support for various services, including Claude Code (the user can choose the desired service).
The exact specifications are still unclear: it is likely to be a keyboard or laptop‑like device with a single‑board computer at Raspberry Pi level. Official details are not yet available.
Promised Features
| Parameter | What Rabbit Promises |
|-----------|----------------------|
| Screen | “Really great” (details undisclosed) |
| Keyboard | 40 % layout, hot key swapping |
| Touchpad | None |
The manufacturer still says the device is under development and no physical product exists yet. Interestingly, the company is considering a portable version of Cyberdeck.
How Will It Work?
“Vibe‑coding” is code generation using a cloud AI model based on user requests. It’s not entirely clear why a separate gadget would be needed for this; Rabbit will likely answer in the near future.
