SENTSentient (SENT) Price

1.Project introduction

Sentient's mission is to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains open-source and not controlled by any single entity. It addresses the risks of closed-source AGI development by a few corporations. The project's core solution is the GRID, described as the world's largest network of intelligence, which aggregates capabilities from agents, models, data, and compute to make open-source AI as capable as closed-source alternatives. It aims to solve open-source AI's challenges in capability, distribution, and funding through a decentralized, community-owned ecosystem. Users access the GRID via Sentient Chat, while builders can contribute and monetize their AI components. The project is backed by a strong team from academia and industry, including co-founders from Princeton and Polygon.
