rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-11-13
millionways launched Thorsten-4, a "Large Psychology Model" that reads motives and decision styles beneath language — the why that internet-trained LLMs never see.
- Unique dataset: 50+ psychologists repeatedly interviewed the same 7,000+ people over 4 years, hand-tagging 35M+ words against 50 behavioral/psychological traits.
- Longitudinal design kept only patterns stable across situations, validated against established psychology tests and actual later behavior.
- Use cases include decoding executive language on earnings calls: a hedge fund now trades a dedicated $50M portfolio on it; also aimed at sales, interviews, and customer-service agents to reduce costly misreads.
- Available via platform, API, MCP, or self-hosted deployment.
