Sentient Salon | Korea Edition
Sentient Salon | Korea Edition | Where Open AGI Builders Actually Talk
Buidl Asia 기간을 맞이하여 센티언트에서 빌더, 연구자, VC가 한 테이블에서 AI 에이전트, 코디네이션 시스템, 탈중앙 컴퓨트에 대해 아이디어를 주고받는 자리를 마련하였습니다.
패널 토크. 자유로운 네트워킹을 위한 해피아워가 진행될 예정이니,
센티언트에 관심있는 분들의 참여를 환영합니다!
프로그램
5:00 | 입장 시작
5:20 – 5:50 | 인트로 (Sentient, Open Gradient, Lagrange)
5:50 – 6:20 | 패널 세션
6:20 – 8:00 | 해피아워
여기서 다음 협업자를 만나거나, 내가 푸는 문제를 똑같이 푸는 사람을 찾거나, 계속 미뤄둔 기술 논쟁을 드디어 제대로 할 수 있습니다.
이런 분들께 추천합니다
탈중앙화 환경에서 AI 에이전트/모델/인프라를 실제로 만들고 있는 분
컴퓨트 네트워크, 코디네이션 레이어, AGI 툴링을 구축하는 분
오픈 인텔리전스 시스템을 연구 중이고 협업자를 찾는 분
탈중앙 AI 스택에 투자하거나 지원하는 분
센티언트의 철학
최고의 기술 대화는 “서로 말이 되는 크기”의 방에서 일어난다고 믿습니다.
피치 대회도, 데모 부스도, 투자자 스피드 데이팅도 없습니다.
LinkedIn으로는 절대 할 수 없는 깊이까지 들어가고 싶은 엔지니어, 연구자, 빌더들만 모입니다.
원칙
특정 제품/프로젝트에 치우치지 않기 (Product Agnostic)
생태계 우선 (Ecosystem-first)
깊이 (Depth)
The Concept
We gather in intimate spaces—no stages, no pitches, just builders, researchers, and VCs exchanging ideas on AI agents, coordination systems, and decentralized compute. Think living room conversations with the sharpest minds in the space.
Panel discussions that tackle real problems. Happy hour where collaborations form. The kind of gathering where you leave with three new Signal threads because someone just described your exact challenge from a different angle.
What Happens
5:00 | Doors open. Grab a drink. Meet the people building decentralized intelligence before anyone takes a stage.
5:20 – 5:50 PM | Introduction (Sentient, Open Gradient, Lagrange)
5:50 – 6:20 PM | Pannel Session
6:20 – 8:00 PM | Happy Hour
This is where you meet your next collaborator, find the person solving your exact problem, or finally have that technical debate that's been sitting in your drafts folder.
You Should Come If You're:
Shipping AI agents, models, or infrastructure on decentralized rails
Building compute networks, coordination layers, or AGI tooling
Researching open intelligence systems and need collaborators
Investing in or supporting the decentralized AI stack
Our Philosophy
We believe the best technical conversations happen in rooms small enough to actually talk. No pitch competitions. No demo booths. No investor speed dating. Just engineers, researchers, and builders who want to go deeper than LinkedIn allows.
Our principles:
Product Agnostic
Ecosystem-first

About Us
Sentient Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring Artificial General Intelligence remains open-source and aligned with humanity. Operating with neutrality and transparency at its core, the Foundation promotes global adoption of open-source AGI, champions alignment and safety standards, distributes grants to developers worldwide, and coordinates governance frameworks for responsible AI development.
Sentient Labs is the technical research and product organisation of Sentient Foundation. Pioneering applied research in reasoning, alignment, and multi-agent coordination, the Labs build open-source frameworks and models that demonstrate the power of community-driven artificial intelligence. This includes enabling monetization of open-source tools, improving the quality and utility of the open-source AI ecosystem through ecosystem-wide coordination, and providing the distribution needed to make open-source the default standard in AI.
Partners
Lagrange is building trust for the AI-powered world with DeepProve, the fastest zero-knowledge machine learning (zkML) system in existence.
DeepProve makes it possible to verify AI inferences at scale, ensuring that models produce results consistent with their intended functions. As AI becomes deeply embedded into everyday life, verifiable AI is essential for safety, transparency, and trust.
OpenGradient is the Network for Open Intelligence: an EVM-compatible blockchain network that can host models, run secure inference, and execute AI agents verifiably onchain. OpenGradient raised $9.5M from a16z crypto, SVA, and the co-creator of transformers, Illia Polushkin, to build the foundation for AGI onchain.
