Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsSentient, an artificial intelligence development platform backed by Peter Thiel\u2019s Founders Fund, has released an open-source AI search framework that it says outperforms leading closed-source competitors.
\nThe company announced the public release of Open Deep Search (ODS) on April 2, describing it as a high-performance, developer-friendly alternative to platforms like Perplexity AI and OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4o.
\nSentient\u2019s ODS aims to empower developers with open-source \u201cLoyal AI\u201d models, which Sentient says preserve the original intent of their developers.
\nThe firm\u2019s fingerprinting technology allows developers to protect intellectual property while maintaining model openness \u2014 aiming to solve the biggest issue of open-source AI, the challenges of monetizing a model without centralization.
\n\u201cAI should belong to the community, not controlled by closed-source corporations,\u201d according to Himanshu Tyagi, co-founder of Sentient and professor at the Indian Institute of Science.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re building, monetizing and delivering open-source AI with a key principle in mind: singularity in intelligence but plurality in use cases,\u201d he added.
\n\u201dOpen-source development ensures performance and user control that closed systems simply cannot match.\u201d

\nSentient\u2019s ODS outperforms ChatGPT, Perplexity
\nSentient\u2019s ODS scored 75.3% accuracy on the \u201cFrames\u201d benchmark, which measures factuality, retrieval and reasoning capabilities, used to answer complex \u201cmulti-hop questions\u201d that require the integration of multiple sources.
\nODS surpassed OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT-4o Search Preview\u2019s 50.5% and the Perplexity Sonar Reasoning Pro, which scored 44.4%.\u00a0
\nTo prevent potential bias, Sentient ensured that its researchers didn\u2019t have access to the Frames testing sets during the benchmarking process.

\n\u201cAnyone with a computer can run our code, reproduce our results, and verify whether it is correct or not. The numbers reported can be reproduced using the repo’s eval section by anyone and thus are globally verifiable.\u201d
\nThe ODS release follows growing interest in Sentient\u2019s platform. The firm said it amassed more than 1.8 million waitlist registrations in the lead-up to the launch.

\nA turning point for open-source AI
\nThe release of Sentient\u2019s new open-source search framework comes amid a tipping point for open-source AI development.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re witnessing a significant shift as open-source AI solutions increasingly challenge closed-source dominance,\u201d Tyagi said.
\n\u201cExamples such as DeepSeek\u2019s advancements in reasoning, Manus\u2019s innovations with agents, and now our own contributions to ODS with advanced AI search frameworks highlight this shift,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cOpen-source models can easily outperform closed-source giants with the right architecture,\u201d said Sewoong Oh, Sentient\u2019s lead researcher and professor at the University of Washington. \u201cThe results of these benchmarks validate our mission to create an open ecosystem that benefits all AI builders and users.\u201d
\nThe launch also builds on Sentient\u2019s earlier momentum. In February, the firm completed one of the largest NFT minting campaigns to date, with more than 650,000 participants gaining fractional ownership of its AI models.
