Sentient, an artificial intelligence company based in New York, introduced the grid, an open resource network designed for developing and monetizing artificial general intelligence (Agi) Systems.
The company said the platform aims to provide a decentralized alternative to closed AI marketplaces from companies such as Openai. Developers can plug in their AI agents, model, or token rewards and earn token rewards, with use and subscriptions available as optional monetization routes.
At its debut time, the grid produced more than 40 AI agents, 50 data sources, and more than 10 models, covering both the web2 and web3. This includes tools such as napkins, a generative graphics engine, and EXA, a search startup, as well as agents connected to the blockchain deployed throughout the base, polygon, arbitrum, and more.
Users can access them through sentient chat, an interface for discovering and integrating -with agents in workflows capable of facilitating activities such as calendar coordination, code generation, and data commemoration.
“The grid is the largest collection of the world of open-source intelligence, and the railroads of the economy that allow its size,” said Himanshu Tyagi, co-founder of the Sentient.
“It’s not just a better app store for AI; it’s about providing foundational infrastructure to make the open resources viable for the long run,” Tyagi added.
A major feature of the grid is its emphasis on interoperability. The platform allows agents to share memory and coordinate in real time. It is intended to meet a challenge to Enterprise AI, where many “assistant” systems often operate in silos.
Sentient says that more than two million people have joined the waiting list for the network, with twelve -two partners who participate in the debut.
Company leadership has set the initiative as an effort to demonize AGAGI’s development, allowing communities to rule and benefit from technology rather than concentrating control within a small number of private labs.
