Dear Builders, Engineers, and Innovators,

At Arduino, we have always believed that the most powerful technology should be in the hands of the many, not the few. That belief is the very reason VENTUNO Q exists, to put real AI into the hands of more creators. This includes access to the product itself, and when we introduced VENTUNO Q back in March we made the promise of an introductory price of under $300 . A promise we honored when we made the product available for order in August for $299.

The cost of the many key components that make a board like this possible, in particular memory modules, has risen sharply across our entire industry, and continues to climb. We absorbed those increases for as long as we possibly could, because a commitment is a commitment, and your response made every bit of that effort worthwhile. VENTUNO Q sold out (twice!) in no time at all, and the orders have not stopped since. To everyone who pre-ordered, built, and believed in this board from day one, thank you!…
