THE GRID
GRID: Community Powered Intelligence
it is the core foundation of @SentientAGI and the building block shaping the future of open source AGI.
the main purpose of the protocol Sentient is trying to build is this:
→ to rise through the power of the community.
[ sooo anon, what does this mean? ]
›› to try to compete with giants like Open AI and Perplexity, ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains open source and doesn’t fall under the control of a single party.
[ what is the direct way to access the GRID? ]
›› by using Sentient Chat.
GRID:
✓ models,
✓ agents,
✓ frameworks,
✓ libraries,
✓ data,
✓ compute,
and more..
woven layer by layer into a living and decentralized network.
[ the GRID coordinated intelligence system has: ]
= agents + models + data + compute
→ queries pass through multiple intelligences
→ enriched with domain data
→ outputs reach the highest quality
→ more than 100 partners are part of this system: Napkin, Kaito, Fusion AI, DMind, Messari Copilot, The Graph, EigenLayer and more and more…
→ closed source AGI is a limited pool of intelligence controlled by a single entity: lacking diversity, it hinders true innovation. Sentient aims to change this by liberating intelligence through the collective power of the community.
[ let’s take a closer look at other GRID partners that caught my interest: ]
Perle AI (formerly Kiva AI)
what is @PerleLabs
›› Perle Labs provides a platform for managing training data for artificial intelligence.
in short, it is a platform for managing ai training data.
it integrates human experts into the data labeling process.
it supports multimodal AI models (text, image, audio, video).
[ the tools: ]
✓ data collection
✓ quality control
✓ evaluation
✓ rapid iteration
✓ domain specific oversight and reinforcement
✓ learning with human feedback
(rlhf → reinforcement learning from human feedback (you should check this one, this one is a really interesting topic on its own imo))
✓ translates high level goals into precise specifications
✓ cleans and enriches raw datasets
✓ evaluates models for robustness and safety
✓ executes labeling and validation tasks via its distributed professional network
soo basically anon, the general motto of Perle is:
“data for AI training”
➤ it has raised a total of $17.5M led by Framework Ventures, Coinfund, Hashkey Capital, NGC Ventures.
➤ official site: https://www.perle.ai/
PrismaX
what is @PrismaXai ?
[ their focus: ]
›› bridging the gap between robotics and mass adoption.
[ field of work: ]
›› developing advanced visual and generative AI models for robotics.
[ data strategy: ]
›› building a fundamental dataset to support the future of visual AI.
in this way, it differs from text based AI models that rely on common crawl data.
[ goal: ]
›› to enhance ai’s ability to perceive and interact with the world visually.
[ method: ]
›› generating real world, multimodal data.
essentially, the general motto of PrismaX is:
“constructing the bridge between robotics and mainstream adoption”
➤ PrismaX raised $11M in a funding round led by a16z CSX
➤ official site: https://prismax.ai/
Billions Network
what is @billions_ntwk ?
›› in short, it is a global identity verification platform.
it aims to create secure, privacy preserving digital identities for both humans and ai agents.
only government issued id cards are used (this part is very important).
[ infrastructure and technology: ]
✓ built on privado id (formerly polygon id).
✓ uses circom, an open source zk proof framework.
✓ performs nfc based document checks and liveliness verification.
✓ doesn’t store personal data, doesn’t require proprietary hardware.
[ platform and user experience: ]
• launched as a mobile app for ios and android in mid 2025
• gives each verified user a privacy focused identity
• power points and rewards
• earned by verifying identity
• connecting ethereum wallet
• daily login
• referrals
• social actions
(these points unlock future rewards and exclusive digital experiences.)

to put it simply, the general motto of Billions is:
“Human and AI Network”
gHuman then if you’re not a bot :))

➤ Billions raised $35M led by Coinbase Ventures, Polychain Capital, Bitkraft Ventures, Liberty City Ventures, Polygon Labs.

Napkin AI
what is @napkin_ai ?
I’ve hardly seen anyone talk about this project.
this is one of those potentially strong projects that could be truly valuable.
[ why? ]
›› Napkin helps you transform your existing text content into visuals like diagrams, charts, scenes, and images.
[ the best example: ]
think of it as having a personal visual expert by your side at all times, ready to bring your ideas to life.
I’ve used it myself and got really good results (definitely one of the underrated projects and I loved their product so much ngl). I will continue to use it frequently for my content in the future.
fundamentally, the general motto of Napkin is:
“empowers anyone to communicate their ideas visually, transform your text into compelling visuals”
➤ on August 7, 2024, Napkin announced it had raised $10M in seed funding from Accel and CRV.
➤ official site: https://www.napkin.ai/
[ how can you experience the GRID in a tangible way? ]
it’s simple:
›› users access the GRID through @sentient_chat.
Sentient Chat
Sentient Chat has recently strengthened itself incredibly and undergone a meaningful positive transformation.
in my experience, it’s now much easier to reach valid results for most queries.
simply asking about “THE GRID” question gave me meaningful answers that matched exactly what i was looking for.
when you examine the response, you can really see that it provides an output that satisfies from multiple angles.
currently, the number of community agents available on Sentient is 9.
[ what are they? ]
✓ Astro247
✓ Javin AI
✓ Open
✓ Base Wallet Summary
✓ JFK Chat
✓ UniQ
✓ Chief Raiin
✓ Kite
✓ WachXBT
I decided to test Javin AI by asking:
“how to bridge from optimism chain to base chain?”
it gave me 5 bridge names in return, all of which were solid enough to get the job done. Sentient Chat has truly reached an incredible level lately.
Sentient Chat is working to create an ecosystem where you can get answers to all kinds of questions, and in the field of crypto, it is undoubtedly set to be among the very best.
[ what role will $SENT play in the ecosystem being created? ]
the economy of the GRID
[ problem: ]
›› the biggest hurdle in open source AI development → funding and monetization
[ solution: ]
›› Sentient’s token economy
›› fuels both network growth and community participation
›› token holders stake $SENT on the artifacts they believe in (to me, this is one of the most important parts because predicting who will grow more can bring you more profit)
›› more stake → larger share of token emissions
stakers earn yield in return
[ emission allocation: ]
›› influenced by globally recognized AI experts (reps)
›› weighted by real usage and revenue
›› rewards flow to projects that people actually use and value
[ result: ]
the community collectively funds and scales open source AI simply by using and staking.
[ current state of the GRID ecosystem: ]
• 110+ partners
• 50+ specialized agents
• 50+ data providers
• 6 AI models
• 10+ compute and verifiable AI infrastructure
• providers
[ Sentient products: ]
• Sentient Chat
• dobby
• model fingerprinting library
• open deep search
final words
Sentient continues to do big things. I will keep following closely as part of it. there’s no doubt that in the future, AI will become a necessity just like water and food. Sentient seems poised to become one of the biggest parts of that narrative.
here’s the truth:
open source intelligence isn’t just about code, it grows through the collective mind of communities.
Sentient transforms individual contributions into collective intelligence and the best part is that we are a strong part of it :))
by bridging Web2 and Web3, Sentient is taking on a crucial role while placing transparency and trust at the core, making it undoubtedly one of the greatest and most inevitable potentials set to dominate the AI space.
gSenti.
and may the Dobby be with us in this meaningful journey :)
