Every word on this page is a real AI term, except for one we made up.
No AI has ever been trained on it. No paper has ever used it.
Can you spot which one is the fake?
Some come to Arena to compete, but Cat Varnell (@hypecatv2) came to run an experiment: treat AI as a collaborator, not a tool, and it performs better.
She left with data to back her theory, and a community that shares her vision for open-source AI ↓

The first open 3T model releases its weights, NVIDIA CEO debuts on X in support of an open AI ecosystem, and 36+ companies join the Open Secure AI Alliance.

Sentient Foundation's Director of Venture and Growth @0xsachi was featured in @Investingcom for her take on where agentic finance stands today.
Her point: the need for programmable money for agents is real, but "agentic commerce is still in its infancy," which is why AI compute wins in the near term ↓

From Microsoft to Ollama, the biggest names in AI are starting to rally behind a thesis we've backed since day one:
AI should be aligned with humanity and never controlled by a single entity.
Open source AI summer has arrived.

Ollama is proud to sign @satyanadella's letter.
Our mission from day one has been to make open models accessible to every developer to unlock the next frontier in America and across the globe.

Closed labs are building a future you'll never see inside of.
We're putting $42M behind the one you can ↓
Proof that open-source AI doesn't get built in silos ↓
Open AGI Salon at WAIC brought builders, researchers, and investors together in Shanghai to talk about AI agents, infrastructure, and early-stage projects.
Would you trust a critical system that nobody outside the vendor can audit?
That's exactly what closed models demand. Systems you can't inspect, test, or run yourself.
That's not security. That's dependence.

The cybersecurity debate on open-source AI is backwards. Open models aren't the risk, they're the defense! Attackers can already jailbreak any API or guardrails. Defenders can't secure systems with black boxes they can't control, inspect, test, or run locally.

Older people are living longer but lonelier than ever.
We believe an open source AI companion for aging well can change that: one that remembers their family, spots warning signs, and counts success only when they reach a real human.
That's why we're putting $42M behind builders to make it real ↓

For Shubham (@musickeeda), Arena meant sharing a room with other teams and chasing better results together, even as competitors.
That's what open-source AI hackathons make possible ↓

The open-source AI race just went geopolitical, and both superpowers want the frontier.

This statement exists because concentrated intelligence threatens everyone, from Nobel-winning researchers to builders and first time founders.
Open source development, across labs and communities, is the antidote to a future where a few companies decide what AI knows and who it serves.

More than 200 researchers and economists including Jack Clark, Jeff Dean, Noam Brown, Tyler Cowen, Sholto Douglas, John Schulman, Yoshua Bengio, Eric Schmidt, and Dean Ball have signed a statement urging governments and institutions to act now to prepare for AI's economic impact.

Do you believe AGI should belong to everyone?
The Sentient Foundation Discord is open to all those building toward open-source AGI ↓
Builders in Seoul pulled up to Open AGI Builders Day to talk about everything from harness design, coding agents to inference costs.
At the center of it all: @SentientAGI's @icmlconf 2026-accepted "The Scaffold Effect in Coding Agents".

The best research doesn't happen in silos.
@SentientAGI and @virginia_tech researchers built EvoSkill together, open-sourced it, and watched builders put it to work.
Now that work has earned a spot at ACM CAIS 2026 ↓

Our EvoSkill research paper has been accepted to Agent Skills '26 at @CAISconf, a workshop dedicated to the design, evaluation, and optimization of skills for LLM agents.
Led by @salahalzubi401 and members of the @virginia_tech research team, EvoSkill is an open-source toolkit that takes a benchmark and a coding agent, and evolves it into a state-of-the-art specialist in minutes.

The open-weights frontier is suddenly within a benchmark point of closed labs, a White House agency open-sources its own model, and Sentient Foundation commits $42M to advance open AGI.

When everyone can build on each other's work, the whole open-source AI ecosystem benefits.
Here's the proof ↓
EvoSkill has now been cited by 56+ papers.
From frontier AI labs at Microsoft Research (@MSFTResearch) and Tongyi Lab (@Ali_TongyiLab), to top universities such as National University of Singapore (@NUSingapore) and Columbia University (@Columbia), researchers around the world are building on our work that helped pioneer the field of self-evolving agents.
Proof that open research travels fast.
