Latest update (11-12 10:55): Millionways launches Thorsten-4, a large psychology model scoring 50 traits

Overview: Millionways launches Thorsten-4, which it calls a Large Psychology Model that predicts what people will do next. The company says the model analyzes conversations and scores each person on 50 behavioral and psychological traits. Santiago (@svpino) says companies could connect it to existing tools to understand user intent and likely reactions.

According to Semafor, Millionways says it raised $6 million in US funding from investors including football players Jason Kelce and DK Metcalf. The model was trained on interview data from more than 7,000 people in a German psychology research project, which psychologists labeled by hand. Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) reports the training data totaled more than 35 million words collected over four years.

The reports include no independent testing, pricing, or availability details.
