  We perform a detailed analysis of the vacua of $\omega$-deformed SO(8)
supergravity in four dimensions. In particular, using Tensorflow-based
numerical methods, we track how the equilibria of the theory change when
varying the electric-magnetic deformation parameter $\omega$. Apart from
describing various properties of different equilibria (390 in total), we show
that as $\omega$ is deformed, the SO(3), N=1 vacuum of the de Wit-Nicolai
theory becomes equivalent to a critical point in $U(4)\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{12}$
gauged supergravity with a known uplift in IIB supergravity. The procedure
employed here to obtain a new gauging with a guaranteed equilibrium is generic
and allows one to obtain further admissible noncompact gaugings via
$\omega$-deformation, all of which have guaranteed critical points, and some of
which may be novel upliftable solutions.
