what's sentient?

Sentient is an open-source protocol platform dedicated to building a decentralized artificial intelligence economy focused on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It enables community ownership of AI models through the Open, Monetizable, and Loyal (OML) format, allowing for on-chain calling, composability, and profit-sharing among AI agents. The project features the GRID, a network for routing and coordinating models, agents, and data streams to scale collective intelligence. ROMA (Recursive Open Meta Agent) is its multi-agent framework that excels in reasoning and search tasks, outperforming benchmarks like FRAMES and SEAL-0. Sentient raised $85 million in seed funding to promote open AGI development, countering centralization in AI, and integrates verifiable compute through partnerships like the Verifiable Compute Consortium.
