This is the kind of acquisition where it actually benefits the community with tight integration and more financial support for open development, in the short term.
But once the Arduino community has added real value to Qualcomm, they will have already cycled through multiple executive teams post acquisition, and one of them will inevitably view all investment into Arduino as a loss center.
Then it’s only a matter of time before they paywall hardware functionality and updates behind a subscription, Arduino Pro+++.

Now’s the time for Espressif to spin off their own ecosystem.
on-board machine vision and audio recognition is super useful for a lot of sensors.
not all AI is generative slop.

Yeah, understandable. But I don’t think this would be “on-board”. So it would have to connect to a service or whatever. I just have a visceral negative reaction to attaching “AI” to everything.

Fuck no, are you kidding me? This is disturbing, I can see all the good going away from Arduino.

If you like Arduino you should consider switching to Teensy microcontrollers and PlatformIO. Although platformio works with pretty much any microcontroller. Steeper learning curve than the Arduino IDE though.

Yes, but very worth how much better writing anything tricky or fast goes.

This! Teensy has been better for years now. Plus we have ESP as big players on these scene now too. Let them kill arduino. We will adapt.
Qualcomm won’t send you a datasheet unless you can promise an order of 100,000. Arduino has always been open specification, and this is totally incompatible with Qualcomm.

Welp, it was fun while it lasted for Arduino.

They already have it, just not an IDE.
I believe most of Arduino libraries are open-source, so they can simply fork it.
Well fork this shit ;-)
Why the fuck would your Arduino board need access to “AI”?

I have done just about all my stuff on ESPs and PlatformIO even though I have a box of arduino
Looks like corporate are locking hardware… again.
So I don’t doubt their motives— but was there a specific thing that they said about locking hardware?
Blarg I don’t know if corporations know what a teacher, student, or hobby is.
The real translation: "You all will be streamlined in our roadmap to ensure that your solutions guarantees us profits. PROFITS!"
I’m glad I switched exclusively to Raspberry Pi years ago. I just preferred Pico.
So they want to sell AI shit buy buying the company that teaches children how to blink an LED. Well, this is bad news for both sides.
