Looking at various university events in November, there’s an interesting phenomenon: in the decentralized AI space, Sentient is arguably the most willing to invest in treating universities as a core market.

From Princeton and the University of Washington to CUHK (Shenzhen) and SRM in India, they’re not just making a token appearance. At each stop, they showcase their core product Sentient Chat, foundational technology architecture, and Early Access privileges, engaging in real, in-depth exchanges with student developers and research teams.

This approach is actually quite rare in the decentralized AI field. Most projects’ campus tours are either purely for brand exposure or just superficial presentations. But it's clear that Sentient is treating the university ecosystem as the main battleground for technology implementation and developer community building—a strategy worth watching.
