Open AGI Frontier: AI Meets Robotics with Open AGI Salon

​Event Overview

​As foundation models become increasingly commoditized, the AI industry is entering a new era — one defined by agents, applications, and infrastructure. Open AGI Salon is a curated, invitation-style gathering bringing together builders, investors, researchers, and thought leaders at the intersection of AI and Robotics.

​Co-organized by Sentient, Axis, and Kaito, this event is designed to spark meaningful cross-sector conversations and collaborations that go beyond passive attendance.

​Theme & Topics

​The event explores the convergence of open-source AI and robotics — examining how autonomous agents, physical intelligence, and open infrastructure are reshaping industries and human-machine collaboration.

• ​The future of Open AGI and open ecosystems

• ​Agent-infrastructure and next-generation AI stacks

• ​Physical AI and the rise of intelligent robotics

• ​Scaffold design and its impact on agent performance and inference cost

• ​Building and scaling AI-native products

• ​Opportunities across the Asian AI and robotics ecosystem

​About the Co-Hosts

​Sentient Foundation
Sentient Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) remains open-source and aligned with humanity. Guided by neutrality and transparency, Sentient promotes global adoption of open-source AGI, leads alignment and safety standards, provides grants to developers worldwide, and coordinates governance frameworks for responsible AI development.

​Sentient Labs
Sentient Labs is an AI research and product lab building AI systems capable of deep reasoning, continuous learning, and self-improvement. Its flagship product, EvoSkill, enables AI engineering teams to automatically evolve entire AI agents using only a model and a benchmark. Sentient Labs also runs AI engineering competitions on Sentient Arena, where top researchers compete to build the best harness-based agent solutions for the world's hardest AI reasoning problems.

​Axis Robotics
Axis Robotics is building the Compounding Data Engine for Physical AI. We operate a large-scale distributed data network and a full-stack pipeline spanning simulation, egocentric data collection, pre-training, and real-time DAgger post-training. We have built a global distributed contributor community and a scalable data production infrastructure designed to continuously generate high-quality training data for Physical AI. Backed by Hack VC, Nomad Capital, Pi Network, and other visionary investors, Axis Robotics bridges the data gap in Physical AI by delivering foundation model-ready datasets and sim-to-real pipelines that enable continuous, scalable policy improvement.

​Kaito
Kaito is the leading AI-powered intelligence platform, transforming how information is structured, shared, and valued across crypto, AI, stocks, and the wider frontier of tech and finance. Kaito powers a full stack of products, from its core intelligence platform (Kaito Pro, API & MCP) and creator marketplace (Kaito Studio) to its launchpad (Capital Launchpad), building new primitives for how influence and mindshare are measured, owned, and monetized.

​About Sponsors

​Rocketpunch
Rocketpunch is a trusted business network built on verified identities.

Rocketpunch helps founders, investors, talent, and companies connect in a safer and more transparent way. Unlike open social networks where anyone can appear anonymously, Rocketpunch is designed around verified identities, enabling people and organizations to build trust and create real opportunities.

Rocketpunch is also evolving beyond a network for people and companies. It is becoming a platform where AI agents connected to real people and organizations can participate, act, and create opportunities. These agents can help users discover relevant people, jobs, investments, partnerships, and business opportunities within a trusted network.
