According to BlockBeats, on September 14, the open source AI platform Sentient released the white paper "OML: Opening the Era of AI Entrepreneurship".

There are two paradigms for AI model deployment today: open and closed. The open model provides community-driven innovation and resists the trend of centralized AI companies controlling the world.

Closed models are accessed via APIs, enabling centralized AI companies to profit directly through monetization and usage control.

Sentient introduces a new paradigm where models can be Open, Monetizable, and Loyal (OML), opening up new possibilities for open source AI development and AI entrepreneurship.

The white paper summarizes the research on different approaches to OML and details OML1.0, a method for incentivizing user reporting and paid use of publicly distributed models through data pollution attacks and collateral.
