LG TVs& integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotionsLG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions

With all this information, ZenVision will group LG TV viewers into highly specified market segments, such as “goal-driven achievers,” “social connectors,” or "emotionally engaged planners," an LG spokesperson told StreamTV Insider.

Companies paying to advertise on LG TVs can then target viewers based on the ZenVision-specified market segments and deliver an “emotionally intelligent ad,” as Zenapse’s website puts it.

This type of targeted advertising aims to bring advertisers more in-depth information about TV viewers than demographic data or even contextual advertising (which shows ads based on what the viewer is watching) via psychographic data....

On Wednesday, OpenAI announced the release of 2 brand-new modelso3 and o4-minithat integrate simulated thinking capabilities with access to functions like web browsing and coding. These designs mark the very first time OpenAI's reasoning-focused designs can use every ChatGPT tool concurrently, including visual analysis and image generation.OpenAI revealed o3 in December, and previously, only less capable derivative models named o3-mini and 03-mini-high have actually been available. Nevertheless, the brand-new models change their predecessorso1 and o3-mini. OpenAI is rolling out gain access to today for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users, with Enterprise and Edu customers accessing next week. Free users can attempt o4-mini by selecting the Think alternative before sending inquiries. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted that we expect to release o3-pro to the pro tier in a couple of weeks. For designers, both designs are offered starting today through the Chat Completions API and Responses API, though some companies will need verification for gain access to. These are the smartest models we've launched to date, representing an action change in ChatGPT's capabilities for everyone from curious users to advanced scientists, OpenAI declared on its site. OpenAI says the models offer better expense effectiveness than their predecessors, and each features a various intended use case: o3 targets intricate analysis, while o4-mini, being a smaller variation of its next-gen SR design o4 (not yet launched), optimizes for speed and cost-efficiency. OpenAI says o3 and o4-mini are multimodal, including the capability to think with images. Credit: OpenAI What sets these new designs apart from OpenAI's other designs (like GPT-4o and GPT-4.5) is their simulated reasoning ability, which utilizes a simulated detailed believing process to solve issues. Additionally, the new models dynamically determine when and how to release aids to solve multistep problems. When asked about future energy use in California, the designs can autonomously browse for energy information, write Python code to develop forecasts, produce picturing graphs, and explain key aspects behind predictionsall within a single inquiry.
