Odaily News In an interview, partners from VC Founders Fund, Pantera Capital and Framework Ventures, which led the investment in Sentient, talked about why they led the investment in the open source AI platform Sentient. Joey Krug, partner at Founders Fund, said that the most important point about Sentient actually comes down to the quality of the team. "I have known Sandeep and Pramod for many years, and they are very sharp in their respective fields of technology." Paul Veradittakit, managing partner at Pantera Capital, said that if AI development remains closed source, many key aspects of society will be vulnerable to the concentrated effects of censorship and rent-seeking. Sentient's open, monetizable and loyal (OML) AI model will "have great potential to disrupt the AI development industry." Brandon Potts, partner at Framework Ventures, said that Sentient's open and monetizable AI model "will inject powerful power into the open source community" and that the Sentient team is the "most capable" team to solve the economic problems of open source AI.
