Huh, guess they're still actually working. One thing I noticed, the first image of the editor has an image of the Maghni design for Oliver in the bottom left corner, but the rest do not. I wonder why?
I am going to guess that the screenshot must have been taken before they cancelled Oliver's VB. Otherwise I don't know why he would be there.
I am not sure if this is another update or not, but I will post here the latest information associated to Maghni AI for everyone to have a look:
What I can summarize here is: Barham has reappeared. He claims for more money, but still refuses to ship the equipment to the current team. (and for Maghni AI backers, there might be no more refunds so...)

Every time I see an update to the Maghni thread, I just think to myself, "Wtf has gone on now?" 
It appears that after all the fall out Crescendia has taken down the maghniAI website. When you attempt to access it, you get an error saying
"This deployment is temporarily paused"
"This deployment is temporarily paused"

If not mistaken this has been mentioned by someone on X.com few days/weeks ago but it is only mentioned here today. Anyway, hmm I am not sure how to process this.
Maghni is Schrödinger's vocal synth engine. It's neither dead nor alive until some BULLSHIT get released. Although with the phrasing of the error message, it seems like they're saying it's just stopped for the moment, but like with them leaving the VocaTone voices there's no reason people would be excited for it. What's the end goal?
I went ahead and asked Cocoa on BlueSky. Hopefully they reply soon..

@ccodaze.bsky.social Sorry for the bother, but are you aware the Maghni website is currently down? It has been down for a few weeks and people are concerned.

Chatted with a friend about it, it could theoretically be due to the rebrand they were planning on doing.
I was going to suggest the same thing. You'd think the current team would put out a message saying the website will be taken down for maintenance for a few days. But then again, we are talking about Maghni.
I was a bit more pessimistic about it lol, I was like "welp, I think that's it for Maghni." I would hope that the site being down might mean they're trying to clean things up and rebrand, although idk that would be difficult since it's 100% certain that the controversy will follow them. But yeah it's hard to tell with Maghni, the lack of communication is atrocious
A rebrand isn't going to save them lbr
