Founder of REX Computing here, we taped out in July of 2016 and got our silicon brought up and working back in February. I gave a talk at Stanford showing our hardware and a tiny bit of software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki6jVXZM2XU

Type 2 unums are pretty much entirely deprecated by type 3 unums (now given the name 'posits' as referred to in the OP's linked paper)... they are basically superior in every way, and I recommend watching John's February 2nd talk at Stanford.
