Sentient is a decentralized protocol dedicated to building GRID, the world's first open, community-built Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) network. Sentient's mission is to transform today's closed and fragmented AI landscape into an open and collaborative ecosystem to ensure that advanced intelligence truly serves all mankind. Sentient's philosophy is that AGI will not appear as a single monolith, but rather will consist of many specialized intelligences working together. GRID facilitates this collaboration by integrating a growing library of AI components to achieve AGI-level intelligence. GRID: A network of actionable AI components. The core components of GRID are "Artifacts", which are modular, composable intelligent units, such as models, agents, data sources and tools, contributed by the builders of the Sentient community. Users can access GRID through Sentient Chat, a universal interface for discovering, combining and coordinating AI components. Each query triggers a coordinated workflow that strings together multiple agents, searches, sources, and tools within GRID to produce optimal results.
