Odaily Planet Daily News: Sentient led the investment. Partners of VC Founders Fund, Pantera Capital and Framework Ventures talked about why they led the investment in the open source AI platform Sentient in an interview. Joey Krug, partner of 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 of 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 subvert the AI development industry." Brandon Potts, partner of 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.
