AI IS DEVOURING THE ENTIRE WORLD AT AN UNPRECEDENTED RATE, BUT THE WORLD LINE HAS BEGUN TO SPLIT IN TWO CIRCLES。

One is the expansion of AI under the monopoly of technology giants: the first market company in the world with chips, graphic card resources, $5 trillion; Google, Amazonic chip production, which seeks to gain advantage; OpenAI, Anthropic, etc., AI giant valuations, which jumped to hundreds of billions of dollars; and the rapid development of AI industry microlevels: the founder of British Vita, Wong In-hoon, mentioned on CES2025 at the beginning of the year"AI Agent is about to become the next robotic industry, with trillions of dollars."The fact that tens of millions of AI Agents are gradually penetrating every day into all aspects of human society means that the technology giants are becoming key players in the "managing the key to the AI world."。BASED ON PAST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INTERNET INDUSTRY, PERHAPS MANY PEOPLE WILL WONDER: IS AI GOING TO BECOME ANOTHER GAME OF TECHNOLOGY

It's not like you're in troubleSetientThe answer is no。

As an open-source platform for Internet fundamentalism, it had previously received $85 million in seed ship financing, which included many star agencies under Peter Thiel ' s banners Fields Fund, Pantera Capital and Framework Ventures. On AI's inevitable route of devouring the world, Setient chose a different path from the giant company. And this is the "open source AGI preface" that Odaily Daily is about to dismantle today。

First scout: Lift up the open source, AI, the flag, and face a billion-dollar monopoly

Last July, SetientDeclarationEighty-five million dollars in seed ship finance was completed and the investment institutions behind it were luxurious — led by Peter Thiel's Funders Fund, Pantera Capital and Framework Ventures; and by Ethel Ventures, Robot Ventures, Symbolic Capital, Delphi Ventures, Hack VC, Arrington Capital, Hashkey Capital, Canonical Crypto, LDapital and Forest Ventures。

You know, the number of encrypted projects where seed-wheel financing has been able to obtain this number has been limited, not to mention the strong endorsement of the array of star capital behind this investment. Previously, only a small number of Queens L1Cs received such strong support. At one point, the topic of "Sentient on what gets so popular with capital" became one of the topics of the encryption circle. Soon the question was answered。

The sword points to OpenAI, the Setient team facing the giants

And then..Media interviewMany of the partners in the Sentient lead agency gave their answers

The Founders Fund partner, Joey Krug, stated that the most important reason for investing in Setient was that his team, the founders of Polygon and Pramod (Professor of Princeton University), among others, had a commendable degree of technical sensitivity; the Pantera Capital management partner, Paul Veradittakit, stated that many key aspects of society would be vulnerable to the centralized effects of review and rent-seeking if AI development remained closed. The open, monetized and loyalist (OML) AI model “has great potential to destabilize the AI development industry”; the Framework Ventures partner Brandon Potts also gives high levels of team and technical recognition and goes so far as to state that “Sentient teams are the most capable of solving the open-source AI economic problems”。

The golden rule of "investment is the investor" in Setient's proud seed-wheel financing, and the team members behind Setient's project are indeed called the "Start Starts" (from Grok)--

More importantly, in this interview, Setient's ambition was re-emphasized - in direct competition with the AI giant, the OpenAI company behind ChatGPT, whose main competitive tool is to build open-source AI models with community contributions。

THE UNIVERSAL VALUE OF THE AI PLATFORM: DECENTRIZATION, RESISTANCE, MONETARY QUANTIFICATION

Distinguished from the closed-source model of AI giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Setient chooses a “hard and right” AGI development path - open-source AI platform。

Using the example of “trip-out”, the AI models and applications provided by commercial companies, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, are like a “centrified AI platform” for passengers who, as users of passengers, do not know the route, much less whether or not the fees are reasonable, can only be arranged by the “black box” of the commercial company; whereas the open-source AI route of Setient chooses to place the route, the specific cost and the diversity of choice in front of the user, with the user being free to “go to the platform” and even the user providing a corresponding “solution” for more users. Specifically, the Open Source AI platform of Setient has the following advantages over the existing AI monopolistic giant-related products available on the market:

1. Ensure diversification and interoperability of AI products. Different from a single AI model for various giant companies, the Setient platform has more AI models for users to choose, and there is a degree of synergy and interoperability between various AI models that allows users to enjoy a one-stop AI use experience。

2. Avoid centralization of AI applications and modelling and malpractice problems. While the OpenAI model language had previously dealt with issues such as copyright infringement in the media, the AI model avoided sensitive information from the development company behind it, as well as the centralized review mechanism, and the recent Claudflare crash also reflected the “vulnerability” of the centralized AI model in the context of ChatGPT. In these areas, the Open Source AI of Setient is able to provide some technical assurance about the resistance of output content and security redundancy and stability of services。

3. DE-BROKERING AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FIELD. THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE OPEN SOURCE AI PLATFORM STEM FROM THE FACT THAT “FROM THE CROWD TO THE CROWD”, THE MULTILATERAL NETWORK BUILT BY THE DECENTRALISED ARCHITECTURE CAN DIRECTLY MATCH THE DEVELOPERS AND USERS WITH MORE EFFICIENT SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND ALLOW THE AI MODEL TO TRULY SERVE REAL MARKET DEMAND。

4.AI Tools for the application and development of monetization platforms. The OML (open, monetized, loyal) AI model of Sentient and the already launched open-source AGI Network GRID can help the AI model and its applications to develop, feed and quantify growth through the SENT currency economic incentives. On the basis of ensuring ownership, control and consistency, Setient created a network of monetized platforms that combine AI development and commercialization。

On the basis of these unique advantages, to date, Sentinet has established a mature open-source AI ecological network。

Enter Sentient: from application to application, to growth with eco-aided networks

After a year or so, Setient has launched a series of self-study products from Dobby, Model Fingerprinting and Open Deep SearchOPEN SOURCE AGI NETWORK GRID(Global Directory of Research and Intelligence)ROMAandOpen Source AI Research Agent SERA-CryptoIt's a variety of web applications。

Moreover, the emergence of GRID and the construction and gradual refinement of the SENT currency economy model, as well as the "AI ecological mapping" built around the Setient Open Source AI platform, are in the process of rapid improvement。

According toOfficial sourcesOPEN SOURCE AGI NETWORK GRID NOW CONTAINS110 Multiple partnersincluding

• OVER 50 PROFESSIONAL AI SMART BODIES
• Over 50 professional data providers
• 6 AI MODELS
• OVER 10 COMPUTING AND VERIFIABLE AI INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS。

GRID NETWORK PARTNERS AT A GLANCE

The representative partners included the following items: AI Chart Generation Project Napkin, LLM (Big Language Model) search engine Exa, AI Driven Person Search Platform Caldo, Chain Data Tracking Platform Arkham, Enterprise De-centre Calculator Platform Aethir, Encrypted Social Data Platform Kaito, Encrypted Insight Agent Platform Messari Co-Pilot, Block Indexing Data Platform The Graph, Encrypted Currency Exchange Crypto.com, Polygon Public Chain, and Doby Judge AI Arbitration System EigenLayer Network. Based on the development of ecological synergies, the value of Setient as an open source AI platform is reflected mainly in its ability to attract developers, calculators, data builders, etc., to participate in ecological construction, and in its ability to feed back sources through token incentives and pledge models AI Ecodevelopment, especially the proximate AI models and applications that are expected to be developed during the well blowout。

Setient recently launchedOpen Source AI ResearchThis is a big example. Here we need to go a little bit further — the combination of AI and encrypted money market conditions has been a real need for countless people and the application directions that many developers are trying to study, but it is constrained by the illusions of large models, by the difficulty of real-time updating of market data and by the complexity of chain status queries, wallet account operations, and the “AI Agent” that was created to conduct encrypted research has been lacking。

SERA CryptoAs a result, after the birth of the principal, AI Agen, who is a semantically embedded and reasoned agent, received the privilege of the first-ranked open source agent in the Dmind; in a real-time encryption baseline test that includes time relevance, data consistency, depth of research and relevanceSERA Crypto ranks first at 34.3 points, with overall performance even better than mainstream AI models such as GPT-5, Grok 4, Gemini 3 Pro and Permexity Finance, and all operations completed in 45 seconds。

By combining the advantages of route frames, data clarity, structure optimization and structural reasoning, SERA has been able to filter out real-time, usable and guided reasoning in the flood of “big, but useless” and “small, but false” information. As a result, the Setient team succeeded in creating an “AI Agent” with a better understanding of encrypted currency, rather than a “rigid machine assistant” with no ability to think and only to wrap up the rhetoric。Of course, the generation of SERA is close to 300,000 users in the Sentient community and over 22 million user queries。

The SERA Cripto model ranks first

Since then, users have been able to use SNET tokens to reach out to various AI applications through the Setient Open Platform (which also includes various platform smart body units) to meet their real AI application reasoning needs; the Setient ecode developer has been able to obtain SENT token incentives by paying user fees; moreover, the SENT token pledge model has been able to ensure to some extent the smooth operation of the ecological economic cycle system。

GRID Network and Setient Community EcoFrill

Ultimately, the monetary AI eco-economic model based on the Sentient Open Source AI platform was completely shaped, and the subsequent optimization became - better AI models and applications attracted more AI users and developers to participate and join, while the latter led to more high-quality AI models and applications, together building a four-dimensional development wheel。

SENT CURRENCY PROFILE: "CORE ENERGY" FOR CATALYSING OPEN SOURCES AI PLATFORM OPERATION

The role of SENT as the “engine energy” that sustains the vast ecological sustainability of Setient is crucial。

CONCLUSION: OPEN SOURCE AI'S SELF-EVOLUTIONARY LIMIT FAR BEYOND HUMAN IMAGINATION

As the development of the closed source AI Big Model has reached a homogeneity impasse, Open Source AI may be an important force in driving artificial intelligence into deep water, just as the open source of the Android system created the rapid development of smartphone devices and the arrival of mobile Internet, the open source AI platform, represented by Setient, is not just an AI chat application, but a set of open source AI ecologys, ranging from bottom protocols to systems architecture to specific models and AIAgent applications。

More importantly, unlike closed-door cars with closed-source AI models and applications, open-source AI has to a certain extent been able to “self-evolution”, which is the direction that Setient has decided at the beginning of choosing this “hard and right path”。

While OpenAI is still struggling to stop Sora because of its rivals’ new products, Setient is determined to move beyond a more universal AI development path that is in line with the aspirations of open-source communities. In the era of carbon-based life-leading silica-based life outposts, the Open Source AI platform brings about not only the dawn of an AGI network, but also an open source AI ecological network that focuses more on loyalty, monetization incentives, consistency services and fewer “AI hallucinations”。
