If AGI is the most powerful tech humanity will ever create, then it should belong to all of us not a boardroom. Most people think AGI will arrive quietly from a big tech lab. A few private companies, working in secret, releasing whatever version of intelligence they choose. But what if the most powerful technology ever created a general intelligence didn’t belong to any corporation at all? That’s exactly what Sentient is building: the first open, community-built AGI. Instead of a black-box intelligence controlled by a few, Sentient is creating a living network of intelligence owned by everyone. If a handful of companies decide how AI thinks, what it knows, and who it serves, the future is locked into their hands. Open-source AI exists today, but it lags behind in three crucial areas: •Capability — closed systems still outperform open models. •Distribution — open projects can’t easily reach billions of users. •Funding — closed labs attract nearly all the money. Sentient was designed to break that cycle. At the heart of Sentient is The GRID the largest open network of intelligence ever assembled. •For users, The GRID feels like one seamless experience through Sentient Chat a single gateway to every agent and model inside the network. •For builders, it’s a global distribution channel. Plug in your models, data, or tools and reach an instant user base while earning revenue from usage. By pooling strengths across hundreds of participants, The GRID makes open AI as powerful and soon more powerful than closed labs. The GRID has already onboarded 110+ partners: 50+ specialized agents, dozens of data providers, multiple models, compute partners, and unique products like Dobby (the first crypto-loyal model), Model Fingerprinting (embedding custom values directly into models), and Open Deep Search. Names like The Graph, EigenLayer, Messari, Napkin, Kaito, and Exa are already building on it. Sentient is the first to combine openness, community ownership, and real revenue potential making it one of the biggest opportunities in AI. Sentient is how we get there.
