Rabbit’s OS3 Moves Beyond the R1 as Trump Rebrands AI and Transfer Gossip Resurfaces

Three separate stories published on September 22, 2026, cover Rabbit’s move to make its AI agent available beyond the R1 device, President Donald Trump’s proposal to use “super intelligence” as an alternative name for artificial intelligence, and a brief football gossip item reporting interest in Mitchell from Manchester United and Liverpool.

Rabbit’s OS3 is designed to work without an R1

Rabbit is rolling out OS3, an AI agent that the company says can be used without owning its R1 hardware. The system runs in the cloud while carrying out tasks across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices.

That changes the role of the R1. Rather than making the dedicated device the required gateway to Rabbit’s software, OS3 is intended to reach users through several access points:

• A desktop website
• A paired messaging service, such as Telegram or iMessage
• Rabbit’s existing R1 device
• Local operation across Windows, Mac, and Linux computers

Rabbit says users will be able to connect up to five devices to one account and select their preferred AI models. The company claims OS3 will decide which devices, files, applications, and models are needed for a particular task.

Cloud-based control, local device access

Rabbit describes OS3 as cloud-based but capable of operating locally across supported computers. An AI service can coordinate tasks through remote servers while using software installed on a computer to interact with local files and applications.

For users, the distinction matters because local access introduces questions about permissions, security, and reliability. An agent that can identify and work with files or applications also requires users to understand what access they are granting and which actions the system can take.

Rabbit says OS3 will not store, copy, use, or sell users’ data. However, the company also says it will retain chats and memories derived from them on its servers. Other AI providers connected to OS3 will handle data according to their own privacy policies.

Those statements leave users with several issues to examine before relying on the service:

• What information is retained in chat history and “memories”?
• How can users delete that information?
• Which data is sent to third-party AI providers?
• What permissions does the desktop software require?
• Can access to files or applications be limited by device or task?

Rabbit’s privacy claims are company assurances rather than an independent finding. Anyone handling sensitive documents should review the full privacy terms and permissions before connecting work or personal data.

Rabbit has stopped manufacturing the R1

Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu told Wired that the company has stopped manufacturing R1 devices. That does not mean Rabbit is abandoning hardware altogether.

The company is reportedly developing a new “cyberdeck” focused on vibe coding, with OS3 planned to run on it when it launches within “months.” The source material does not provide a firm release date, price, or full specification, so those details remain unknown.

Trump proposes “super intelligence” as a new name for AI

At the United Nations General Assembly on September 22, President Donald Trump argued that the word “artificial” makes intelligence sound fake. He suggested that future US government documents use “super intelligence,” abbreviated as “SI,” instead.

The proposal appears to be a terminology change rather than a technical redefinition. The source material does not identify an official government order requiring federal agencies to replace “AI” with “SI.” A White House representative referred CNET to Trump’s comments.

Trump had continued using the term AI in recent remarks, including a proposal for an AI Force. That indicates that “super intelligence” had not replaced the established term across government at the time of the report.

Why the proposed name may create confusion

“Artificial intelligence” is already a widely understood technical and policy term. “Super intelligence” carries a different implication and could suggest capabilities beyond those associated with the everyday use of AI.

Trump had also used social-media polls to test alternatives including “superior intelligence,” “extreme intelligence,” and “supreme intelligence.” The reported results favored different options narrowly at different points, underscoring that the proposed vocabulary was still unsettled.

A new label would not change how the technology works. It could, however, influence how agencies describe its capabilities, risks, and regulation.

Football gossip: Manchester United and Liverpool linked with Mitchell

A September 22 football gossip item reports that Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in Mitchell. The supplied material identifies the player’s club only partially as “Crysta…,” so it does not provide enough detail to establish the player’s full identity, position, valuation, or the status of any negotiations.

That means the report should be treated as transfer speculation, not evidence of an offer or an imminent move. The excerpt does not distinguish between preliminary interest and active discussions.

Readers looking for a confirmed transfer would need additional information, including:

• The player’s full name and current club
• Whether either club has made a formal approach
• Contract status and possible transfer terms
• Statements from the clubs or the player’s representatives

No such details are included in the supplied report.
