Sentient Foundation

Sentient Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to open-source AGI, free from single-entity control. Advancing the future through @SentientAGI.

[Sentient Foundation @sentient_found]

We’re launching the Sentient Foundation

A non-profit organization dedicated to:

Ensuring artificial general intelligence remains open, decentralized, and aligned with humanity's interests.

Not closed. Not centralized. Ours. For everyone.

Why aren’t open weights enough and what would it take to build AI that users actually control?

@ilblackdragon breaks it down in Episode 4 of @opencommonspod ↓

[Miss Sentient @0xsachi]

Eight people wrote the paper that built modern AI. @ilblackdragon was the first to leave Google.

The others founded labs like Character, Cohere, and Inceptive. Illia built @near_ai around a different idea: that AI should belong to the people using it, not the labs running it.

In Episode 4 of @opencommonspod, we get into why open weights aren't enough, what user-owned AI actually looks like, and how your prompts might already be getting rewritten without you knowing.

We're heading to Singapore for @superai_conf 2026 🇸🇬

Meet @0xniccomi from the Sentient team and learn how we’re building the future of open-source AI.

[Sentient Foundation @sentient_found]

Open-source AI is only a few months away from achieving frontier labs performance and the gap is closing fast.

Giving humanity control over powerful AI tools will enable scientific breakthroughs, drive innovation, and yield greater prosperity for all.

Ride the wave. Choose open-source.

@bafspot @hstyagi Lets make it happen.

What does our Co-Founder @hstyagi fear about AI?

His answer is exactly why open-source AI matters ↓

If AI enables unimaginable prosperity, then universal basic wealth being guarded by centralized forces is a direct threat to humanity.

Builders shouldn’t have to rent intelligence from corporations that decide who gets access to frontier models and who doesn’t.

[Jaynit Makwana @JaynitMakwana]

Sam Altman reveals why he no longer believes universal basic income is the answer to AI

"I used to be really excited about universal basic income, where you just give everybody money. I still am kind of excited about that. But I think people really need agency"

"If you just say AI is going to do everything and everybody gets a dividend, it's not going to feel good, and I don't think it would actually be good for people"

"I don't just want a check every month. What I'd want is an ownership share in whatever the AI creates, so I feel like I'm participating in this thing that's going to compound and get more valuable over time"

"So I sort of like universal basic wealth better than universal basic income"

[Sentient Foundation @sentient_found]

@Vivek4real_ Making intelligence a commodity is not the way forward.

Building human prosperity definitely should not be based on this premise.

[Open Commons Podcast @opencommonspod]

When Elon Musk or Sam Altman buy millions of GPUs, @EMostaque says those aren't for running the models.

They're for replacing workers in jobs you can do from the other side of a screen, then going into government and controlling it.

If the AI you rely on is owned by an unelected multinational, what exactly do you do about it?

Pope Leo joining the open-source AI movement was definitely not on our bingo card for 2026.

But then again, Magnifica Humanitas aligns with what open-source AI has argued from day one: AI must be a tool that benefits mankind.

135 years after Rerum Novarum confronted the rise of industrial capital, Magnifica Humanitas feels like the same warning, updated for the age of AI.

[Open Commons Podcast @opencommonspod]

The recap from our conversation with @EMostaque is up on Substack.

Three futures for AI, the Last Economy, sovereign AI, Ripley bots, why corporations were the first conscious AIs, and Emad's answer when @0xsachi asked what he most wants readers of his book to walk away with: "The meaning of life isn't work. It's community."

@moulderofweb3 @LeaderX_btc See you in 2 weeks for the next one!

[Sentient Foundation @sentient_found]

AI that lives on your phone, generates video from a single GPU, and runs without a server in the loop.

All open-source. All in the last two weeks ↓
