AI can talk. It still can't understand people.
Meet Thorsten-4: a Large Psychology Model, built on 15+ years of human research. It predicts how people think, decide and act.
Finally, AI will be able to read the room.

We’re about to automate getting ghosted.
And the AI will think the meeting went GREAT.
A prospect says "sounds great" while planning to never reply again. The bot hears a yes.
@millionwaysai built Thorsten-4 to tackle exactly this.
It analyzes conversations to predict motives, hesitation, decision styles, and likely reactions.
The wild part? 15+ years of psychology research, 7,000+ people interviewed, and 35M+ words tagged by psychologists.
They report 90% validated accuracy. And it plugs into existing AI agents.
AI might finally learn how to take a hint.

Brilliant release and this is such a different kind of AI.
@millionwaysai launched Thorsten-4 today, AI that reads people’s motives
Every AI company trains on the same internet, and the internet doesn’t record why people do what they do.
So the AI agents now running sales calls, job interviews and customer service keep misreading people, and each misread costs a dea.
> Thorsten-4 is built on 15+ years of psychology research that started long before ChatGPT,
> 50+ trained psychologists interviewed 7,000+ people repeatedly over 4 years (from an 8-year-old to billionaires),
> hand-tagged 35M+ words from those conversations, and checked the model’s predictions against what people actually did.
It’s a Large Psychology Model that lets AI read the person behind the words, predicting their motives, decision style and likely reactions with 90% validated accuracy.
AI agents now run sales calls, job interviews, and negotiations, but they miss the hesitation and pushback that decide how those conversations end, like the doubt behind a prospect’s “sounds great”.
LLMs were built to read words, not people, and 10 leading AI models fall about 45% short of humans at tracking how a person’s thoughts and feelings change over time.
They also cave easily, since leading AI models flip a correct answer 46% of the time when a user pushes back.
Thorsten-4 reads the conversations companies already have (meetings, interviews, emails, chats and support calls) and scores each person on 50 behavioral and psychological traits, showing what drives them, how they decide and how they react under stress.
Its training data can’t be scraped off the internet, because 50+ trained psychologists interviewed 7,000+ people again and again over 4 years and hand-tagged 35M+ words from those conversations.
The team then checked the model’s predictions against established psychology tests and against what those people actually did over several years.
Every read is explainable and traces back to the evidence behind it, and Thorsten-4 holds its read when a user pushes back.
Companies plug it into the AI tools they already use, so their agents know when to push, when to pause and how to adapt.

AI can understand your words. But can it understand YOU?
That’s what @millionwaysai is tackling with Thorsten-4, a Large Psychology Model built on 15+ years of research, 7,000+ human interviews, and 35M+ words analyzed by psychologists.
It helps AI understand human motives, decisions, and reactions, with 90% validated accuracy, according to millionways.
And the best part? It works with the AI tools you already use.
This could be a major step toward AI that truly understands people.

1. Meet Thorsten-4 by @millionwaysai.
It's a Large Psychology Model designed to help AI understand the person behind the words.
Instead of just reading conversations, it predicts people's motives, decision styles, and likely reactions with 90% validated accuracy.
millionways retweeted
Language models learned to predict words. Thorsten-4 learned to predict people.
Built on years of real human behavior, it maps how someone communicates to 50 behavioral traits. Ask it the same question twice and you get the same read.
Check it out in the link below.
Today in @semafor: a closer look at millionways and Thorsten-4.

This model analyzes conversations and identifies patterns in how people behave, communicate, and make decisions.
It scores 50 behavioral and psychological traits.
Companies would kill to have this!
Think about how this will change customer service and sales.
A company can connect the model to the tools it already uses to understand what users want and how they’ll react.
The model name is Thorsten-4 and was built by @millionwaysai.

Expert psychologists interviewed 7,000+ people repeatedly over four years. The team then checked Thorsten-4's predictions against what those people actually did.
I'd like to see more AI evaluated this way. An agent handling a difficult conversation needs some grasp of why the person is hesitating and how they might respond.
@millionwaysai built Thorsten-4 around that research. The interviews aren't data you can scrape from the web. The model analyzes communication and can work alongside the AI tools companies already use.

AI is getting insanely good at understanding what we say.
But understanding WHY we say it? That’s a different story.
@millionwaysai just launched Thorsten-4, an AI model designed to understand the person behind the words.
It predicts human motives, decision-making, and reactions with 90% validated accuracy.
And it works with existing AI tools.
This could be a big step toward AI that actually understands people.

AI can understand what you say, but understanding why you say it is a completely different challenge.
That's what @millionwaysai is tackling with Thorsten-4. Built on years of real psychology research, it aims to help AI understand people's motives and reactions.
Could be a pretty big step forward for AI agents.👏

AI is lowkey dangerous
you can be dead wrong and it'll hype you up like you just cracked something
agents already run sales calls, support, interviews and negotiations...
but they read the words and miss the person
picture this:
> a prospect says "sounds great" with doubt behind it
> a client replies "fine" and they're clearly frustrated
the agent hears yes... and moves on
and it caves fast. the FlipFlop study (2024) found leading models flip a correct answer 46% of the time when users push back
@millionwaysai built Thorsten-4 for this... they call it a Large Psychology Model
it's built to read the person behind the words:
- motives
- decision style
- likely reactions
so your agent can decide when to push, when to pause and when to adapt
the data is the interesting part. millionways says:
- 50+ trained psychologists interviewed 7,000+ people over 4 years
- 35M+ words tagged by hand
- predictions checked against what people actually did
which is why they say it can't be scraped off the internet
it works with the AI tools you already use (API, MCP, their platform or self-hosting)... it doesn't replace your stack

AI has gotten ridiculously good at understanding what we say, but understanding why we say it? That's a whole different challenge.
Just came across @millionwaysai's Thorsten-4, and I think they're tackling something pretty interesting here.
It's built on 15+ years of psychology research and real human conversations that you can't just scrape from the internet.
They claim 90% validated accuracy in predicting people's motives, decision-making styles, and reactions.
And the interesting part? It works with the AI tools companies already use.
I genuinely think understanding human behavior could be one of the next big unlocks for AI agents.

AI agents are running sales calls and job interviews now. They hear "sounds great" and miss the doubt behind it.
@millionwaysai built Thorsten-4 to read the person, not just the words. 50+ psychologists interviewed 7,000+ people over four years and hand tagged 35M+ words. No amount of scraping gets you that.
90% validated accuracy on motives and decision style, and it plugs into the AI tools companies already use.
This is the missing piece for agents.
