Why you should listen
Sentient is an AI research organization fostering a new Open AGI Economy for AI Builders and Creators. It is building platforms and protocols to enable open-source AI developers to (1) monetize their models, data, and other innovations, (2) collaborate with each other to collectively build powerful AIs, and (3) be significant stakeholders in a new Open AGI economy.
Today, the development of AI is almost entirely controlled by a few organizations and a few individuals at those organizations. These organizations are locked into a feverish race to build AGI and, in the process, make critical decisions for all of humanity.
On the other side, a large fraction of humanity is working to build AI developer and user skills. They have limited ways to showcase and contribute their skills and even worse ways to be gainfully employed.
Sentient has the goal of bringing ownership rights to open AI development. By inventing science and technology that enables anyone to build, collaborate, own, and monetize AI products, we will birth an era of AI entrepreneurship.
Sentient is building an AI platform for builders to collaborate and monetize their innovations. AI builders are the workhorses and principal actors of this economy, the ones who innovate and collaborate to build powerful new AI offerings. The underlying blockchain protocol and incentive mechanism provide the necessary economic alignment needed for the evolution of Open AGI in this collective offering.
For all this to work, it is necessary that the powerful AI models hosted on Sentient are Open, Monetizable and Loyal (OML) – “loyal” models are those which remain aligned with the community that built them, enforced by the underlying blockchain protocol.
Sentient has pioneered a new ambitious field in AI research with OML models. OML models will drive a shared Open AGI economy, supporting millions of AI agents and further downstream applications for billions of AI users.
The next generation of AI will be able to reason, plan, and act strategically. This AI will be built using new innovative agents and by learning from interactions between these agents, underlying models, and humans. The Sentient AI platform will enable the community and the AI built by them to participate and learn from these interactions, with the underlying blockchain protocol ensuring everyone is incentive-aligned.
