We are about to witness the biggest power shift in AI since the launch of ChatGPT.
Not because of a new model, but because intelligence itself is moving from corporate silos to open networks.
The same shift that gave rise to DeFi is about to hit AI🧵
AI today is centralized, and controlled by a handful of corporations.
DeFi has seen this movie before:
Centralized oracles, trading bots, and opaque infra that introduce systemic risks.
When only a few actors control data and infrastructure, they tend to gatekeep, which means fewer people can build, experiment, or compete.
But if knowledge and tools are open and accessible to everyone, more people can contribute, iterate, and create new things.
That's exactly what @SentientAGI is bringing to the AGI industry.
Sentient was invented to decentralize AI, ensuring that AGI is open-source and not controlled by any single entity.
To achieve that, they operate primarily through its foundational flagship product, the GRID (Global Research and Intelligence Distribution)
GRID is the largest open intelligence network that allows 100+ models, agents, data, tools, and research to operate as one.
The GRID routes, combines, and coordinates thousands of AI models, agents, data streams, and tools in a distributed manner.
~ Other integrated framework/ Sub-features of GRID
They plug into GRID to handle specific tasks like reasoning, search, or agent coordination:
~ ROMA (Recursive Open Meta Agent)
A multi-agent framework that breaks down complex tasks.
~ ODS (Open Deep Search)
A search and reasoning tool that augments models in GRID.
~ Fingerprinting
This is just like giving every model its own invisible watermark. It helps keep the whole GRID ecosystem secure and trustworthy.
~ Dobby
Dobby is more like an active member of the GRID network, contributing its skills to make the system smarter and more useful for everyone.
~ Sentient Chat
Sentient Chat is a smart tool that connects to the GRID.
It uses network intelligence to answer questions that make tasks like asset reports, trip planning, and news summaries faster and easier.
The workflow is simple:
~ A query/task comes in (e.g. simulate yield strategy).
~ GRID breaks it into subtasks.
~ Specialized agents (ROMA, ODS, Dobby) solve each part according to their functions.
~ Results are recombined into a final, verifiable output via ROMA’s aggregator node or GRID merging.
The result → AI agents that can directly interact with smart contracts, dApps & protocols.
Sentient vs Other AI companies:
One of the interesting facts about Sentient is that they are open, community-owned, with high utility and revenue potential.
Having all of these features in one is something rare, which makes Sentient one of the biggest opportunities in AI.
~ Token utility
Sentient’s token economy is designed to drive both growth and participation.
• Holders stake $SENT on artifacts they support.
• More stake = more emissions directed to that artifact.
• Stakers earn yield in return.
• Emission allocation is influenced by expert reps + real usage & revenue.
This ensures rewards flow to the projects people actually use, making it a sustainable way to fund and scale open-source AI
~ Adoption
• Over 2M GRID users onboarded
• 1.8M signups in 24 hours for Sentient chat launch
• Over 660K Dobby NFT mint participants recorded
• Over 110 ecosystem partners onboarded
~ Conclusion
IMO, what Sentient is building feels like the same kind of turning point DeFi was for finance, taking something locked behind walls and opening it up for anyone to build on.
If they keep executing, GRID could become the backbone of an open AI economy.
