## Status

The Z100 is a lightweight enterprise monochrome-waveguide HUD (38g, up to 48-hour battery). It has no native AI: any AI comes through partner integrations, which is why DEPLOY places it at the partner-mediated end of the AI-substance spectrum. Vuzix has been shrinking and pivoting toward OEM waveguide components; the Z100 is its current HUD product, and the older Blade line is discontinued. This page surfaces the partner-mediation honestly: the Z100 is a display device, not a native-AI wearable.
