Arduino announces price increase for VENTUNO Q AI computer

Arduino has announced that its VENTUNO Q AI computer will transition from its introductory pricing to an official retail price of $399, effective October 19.

The company stated the price adjustment is due to rising costs of key components, specifically memory modules, across the industry. Arduino noted that it had previously absorbed these cost increases to honor an introductory price of $299.

The VENTUNO Q is designed to provide creators with access to physical AI capabilities. Early community projects using the board include agentic AI reasoning assistants, humanoid service robots, and industrial vision inspection tools.
