A comparison video between the viral Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1, tested by the Rabbit founder, shows that the premium AI pin can’t match the performance of the R1.

The ongoing critiques for theHumaneAI Pin aren’t ending soon. After apoor review ratingfrom popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), a video comparison of AI Pin and theRabbit R1shows that the cheaper competitor beats it fairly.

Avideoshared by Rabbit’s founder and CEO Jesse Lyu shows that the two competing devices are pitched against each other and that the AI Pin’s response time is way longer than that of the R1 in similar conditions.

He asks both the devices a series of questions with the AI Pin and R1 accessing the internet over a 4G cellular network to search for the answers. While the Humane pin was about a second or two slow in responding to basic questions, it was up to 5 seconds late in responding to follow-up and slightly complex queries. For some questions, though, both devices took a similar time to respond.

The two devices are similar as they both rely on AI to come up with responses to the queries thrown at them. They, however, have a different form factor, and while the Humane’s AI Pin is compact and a wearable device, which Lyu isn’t 100% onboard with, the Rabbit R1 is a handheld device resembling afoldable flip phone.

That said, some of Lyu’s opinions may be biased as he is talking about a competing device’s flaws. We will have to wait for more independent reviews and comparisons of the two devices to see the difference in performance.
