Sentient Rolls Out Open Deep Search Framework to Beta Testers, Aiming to Disrupt AI Search Market

The decentralized AI startup plans to open-source its advanced search framework, offering transparency and customization to developers and brands.

Sentient's Open Deep Search (ODS) framework, claiming superior reasoning capabilities, is now being tested by 10,000 beta users, with 1.75 million on the waitlist.
The company plans to open-source ODS in the coming months, allowing developers to modify algorithms and integrate their own data for customized AI applications.
ODS scored 75.3% on the FRAMES benchmark, outperforming OpenAI's GPT-4o Search Preview and Perplexity's Sonar Reasoning Pro models.
Backed by $85 million in venture funding, Sentient aims to challenge closed AI systems by prioritizing transparency, user control, and collaborative development.
Sentient Chat, an AI-powered assistant built on ODS, is positioned as a decentralized alternative to proprietary tools like ChatGPT.
