Sensient, an artificial intelligence company based in New York, has introduced The Grid, an open source network designed to build and monetize artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems.
The company says that the platform aims to provide a decentralized alternative to the closed markets of companies such as OpenAi. Developers can connect their AI agents, models or tools and obtain tokens -based rewards, with use rates and subscriptions available as optional monetization routes.
At the time of its debut, the grid houses more than 40 AI agents, 50 data sources and more than 10 models, covered by web2 and web3. These include tools such as napkin, a generative graphic engine, a search startup, as well as agents connected to Blockchain deployed on base, polygon, referee and others.
Users can access these through the sensitive chat, an interface to discover and combine workflow agents capable of handling tasks such as calendar coordination, coding generation and data visualization.
“The network is the largest collection in the world of open source intelligence and the economic rails that allow it to climb,” said Himanshu Tyagi, co -founder of Sentient.
“This is not just a better application store for AI; it is about providing the fundamental infrastructure for open source AI to be viable in the long term,” Tyagi added.
A key characteristic of the grid is its emphasis on interoperability. The platform allows agents to share memory and coordinate in real time. This is intended to address a challenge in the Enterprise, where multiple “assistant” systems often operate in silos.
Sensient says that more than two million people have joined the network waiting list, with dozens of partners participating in the debut.
The company’s leadership frames the initiative as an effort to democratize the development of AGI, which allows communities to govern and benefit from technology instead of concentrating control within a small number of private laboratories.
