It’s a momentous day at Sentient as it is now officially live on Kaito AI. Kaito AI welcomes a new age of Open-Source AGI. This is not just another product launch. It will encourage making AGI available to all, open and community-based. With over $85 million of funding to help it take on the world, it is on a mission to become one of the world’s top open-source AI players. It is not designed for corporations. It is designed for communities.
Sentient & Kaito AI: Why This Partnership Matters
The move for Sentient to be brought into Kaito AI is an important step towards Kaito’s vision to “decentralise intelligence”. Sentient, by integrating with Kaito AI, has leverage on an infrastructure that values openness and community governance. It’s also key to them that the two services are so closely intertwined. That means that users and developers today can already start engaging with the tools in a way that feels native to what they are building. This is open access, transparent development and shared ownership.
Sentient is not a project about creating agents, but an ecosystem where influence, contributions and recognition matter. Sentient’s Leaderboard, live today, empowers the community to track and rank curators constructing the GRID. It is the biggest open intelligence network in the world. Sentient tracks actual influence, so contributions matter, whether code, or capital.
Sets New Standard for Open-Source Funding in AGI
With more than $85M in funding, Sentient is well-funded.The capital supports research, tools for communities, open-source model development and building infrastructure. Sentient invests this money to create trust within the open AGI space. To allow the expectations and demands to crystallise around transparency, contributor rewards and decentralised governance.
Sentient is dedicated to seeing that AGI remains owned mainly by all, not just a few labs. Backed by Sentient, it is now able to give back resources, grants, and features to the community it supports. This includes developers, creators and users.
Sentient Empowers Creators with the Leaderboard & The GRID
Sentient recently launched its Leaderboard, a key feature closely connected to The GRID — its expansive, open intelligence network. Sentient’s GRID is more than just a brand name; it’s the environment in which agents, models and tools cohabit and interoperate. Their team created GRID to help creators plug in agents, build workflows, and drive impact in the real world, from visualising data to collaborating with AI agents.
Sentient’s Leaderboard rewards those who are exerting influence and not just recognition. It’s philosophy is that through showcasing and highlighting contributors, the community gets stronger and the AGI is more open.
Sentient’s Community-First Philosophy
From the beginning, Sentient has focused on the community rather than corporate control. With Sentient live on Kaito AI, communities – not boards – are plotting a great deal of what comes next. Sentient encourages contributions at all levels, empowering those who care and build to actively shape AGI.
The platform grants, open tools, and open communication. It decided to make its base open through public documentation, forums, and summits. Sentient’s value proposition is clear. Creators matter. How we use their work, how we broadcast it, and how we share copyrights all matter.
Wrapping Up
The launch of Sentient on Kaito AI is about more than just technological breakthroughs. It’s the start of a new approach to building and spreading AGI. With $85M in funding and open governance, The GRID and Leaderboard, Sentient is making good on its commitment. That is, AI of the many, by the many, for the many.
This is a time when Sentient is going from promise to actual, community-oriented action. As the platform advances, developers and regular users alike can join the network to help build, drive and influence the evolution of intelligence. Sentient’s not only releasing an AGI ecosystem, it’s asking all of us to co-author what happens next in AI.
