An OpenAI outage briefly broke push-to-talk requests on all Rabbit R1 devices.

As pointed out on Threads by @zebulon.vance, it looks like the problem was an OpenAI outage Thursday evening that was addressed about 45 minutes later.

The only remaining issue is that even after paying $200, your ability to even try to get responses from your Rabbit R1 AI hardware depends on other AI companies keeping things running 24/7.

Discord message: “hi @everyone - we are seeing an incident since roughly 3pm PT with push-to-talk queries not working across all r1 devices. this is a high priority investigation and we’ll post a further update when it is resolved.”
