Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

My understanding is that if you only add modules on top, those can stay closed source. It's possible the AOSP portion of the stack is still stock and untouched.

I don't know, one of the reasons they're decrying everyone running the APK is they claim they've made a bunch of "bespoke alterations" to the AOSP version they're using

Which may or may not be BS intended to save their reputation. I hear you though.
