Sentient is a decentralized protocol building the GRID — the world’s first open and community-built AGI network. Sentient mission is to transform today's closed and fragmented AI landscape into an open, collaborative ecosystem, ensuring that advanced intelligence truly serves all of humanity. Sentient thesis is that AGI will not emerge as a single, monolithic brain, but rather a collection of specialized intelligences working together. The GRID facilitates this collaboration by weaving together a constantly growing library of AI components to achieve intelligence at the AGI level. The GRID: A Network of Tangible AI Artifacts. The core components of the GRID are Artifacts, which are modular, composable units of intelligence, such as models, agents, data sources, and tools, contributed by Sentient community of builders. Users access the GRID through Sentient Chat, a universal interface for discovering, composing, and coordinating AI artifacts. Every query triggers a coordinated workflow, chaining multiple agents, search, data sources, and tools across the GRID to produce the best possible results.
