    Merve Noyan considers running llama.cpp on her Rabbit R1

    AIHugging Face's Merve Noyan says she is considering installing llama.cpp on her Rabbit R1 and building speech-to-speech apps on it. She notes the device now lets owners vibe-code apps, run community creations on-device, or jailbreak it, and says she may need to upgrade its OS first. She states the device was sent to her for free and that the post is not a paid ad.
