Can we join the preview?
Not yet. Design-partner intake is not open, and there is no form. The program describes the kind of team it would want first, and the best preparation is to describe a real job precisely.

How is E31 Network different from Czar?
Czar is a sealed appliance you run in your own rack on its own subscription. E31 Network is compute rented by the hour for batch jobs and released when they finish. Owned versus rented, steady versus bursty.

What if my job cannot wait in a queue?
Then it is not a network job. Queues are part of the design, and a job that must start the moment it is submitted belongs on your own systems. A deadline is different from an inability to wait.

Do I need to own any hardware to use the network?
Not for the jobs the network is for. Compute is rented by the hour and released when the job finishes. Any real-time work you have still needs something local, because that never goes to the network.

What happens to my data after the job?
As designed, data is staged for the job, the job runs isolated, the output is returned, and the compute is released. Retention and deletion specifics are not yet published.

How long can a job run?
No maximum is published. A job's request declares how long it needs, or that it runs until done, and when it must finish. Long jobs are expected; scheduling them fairly beside short ones is still open.

Can I run a robot from the network?
No. Anything that must answer now, including robot control and live perception, stays on the robot or local infrastructure. The network takes the batch work around the robot.

What does it cost?
No rates are published yet. The model is by the hour: you pay for the hours compute is held for your job, the meter stops when the job finishes, and nothing is owned afterwards.

Can I submit a job today?
Not yet. E31 Network is a technical preview: the job model and the life of a job are published, but no jobs can be submitted and no rates exist.
