I was wondering the same thing. I haven’t seen him on this subject in a while. He has a lot invested in this and I really don’t want to see him on the losing end of this. However it’s not looking good.

Yeah, even the most ardent supporters admit that the V1 release was poorly handled, putting it nicely. With the missed deadlines and poor communication since then it will be (would have been?) very difficult for it to be a success. The would have really had to hit it out of the park when they released it. Their absence at the reefing conventions didn't bode well, either.There has been almost no industry excitement for this thing, hell we can't even post about how awesome it is because it does mostly nothing without functioning software. With nobody out there chomping at the bit for it to come out, and even if it does, the complete lack of support even for their existing products doesn't paint a good picture for something as complicated as a controller, so far it would appear there is zero infrastructure to keep this thing a float once it was released. I think they would have drowned and not been able to keep up with consumer demand on the troubleshooting side.
So you actually received a beta unit of the new version? I'd heard rumors that they had shipped some but hadn't seen confirmation from anyone who'd actually received one.It was the new version, there were a few of us that received units for real world testing. He had no input though on the testing side, at least he never posted his results as we were supposed to be doing.
What was Jake parading around in one of his videos last month? It didn't look like the old v1 cerebra.

It would appear that we were testing, as of yesterday, it does not appear that there would be anything moving forward within the realm we were receiving instructions and reporting on what we had tested. It all vanished yesterday without any notice from those in control.I don't really have anything to add but I know one other person that was beta testing the new version. I say was, not sure if currently.
I am also one with a V1 collecting dust.

I just can't figure out why bail now, they were very very very close. A huge number of actual completed units sitting waiting for software, and the software seemed really close.
It’s because Jason and Vertex are completely broke. And nobody in their right mind would lend them money now after learning the current state of affairs. It sounds like they had a unit that needed lots of work to get ready for prime time....
It’s sad, but I am afraid the Vertex is likely done.
Yea it seems that way. The unit itself doesn't appear to need work, it was just software tweaking and finalizing on that end. It just seemed a long road to drop it near the finish line.
Sucks for @Tobe71 especially
They even went as far as posting pics of hundreds of units on shelves awaiting software OR " were they Cerebras in the pics " ?I just can't figure out why bail now, they were very very very close.

Hello,
Most won’t like my answer, but if you want to know and understand it, then do everything manually. It takes 20 min a day. Plus I never have to worry about any electric malfunction. I find it much easier if I have equipment fail. Not to mention it’s a simpler and cheaper way.
If I was to get a controller than it would be the ghl version.
