OpenX, The Intelligent SSP, announced the launch of OpenX IQ, a suite of proprietary AI and machine learning capabilities to give buyers greater quality, control, and performance across every stage of the media workflow. OpenX IQ introduces an intelligence-driven approach to media buying, enabling advertisers, agencies, and publishers to customize media buying decisions at scale by leveraging high-fidelity supply-side data and embedded automation across the media workflow.

With nearly half of advertisers (46%) planning to use AI for media strategy, bidding optimization, and mid-flight optimization, buyers face a new challenge: a lack of clear, trustworthy signals to differentiate quality and drive outcomes. At the same time, 35% of marketers cite a lack of transparency in how AI makes decisions, underscoring the urgency for intelligence that is understandable, controllable, and actionable.

With features found in OpenXSelect and accessible through OpenXBuild, OpenX IQ directly addresses this moment by embedding high-fidelity supply-side signals — where data is most complete — into media workflows, leading to improved performance and reduced waste.

Ranked one of the largest SSPs globally for direct publisher partnerships by Jounce, OpenX has the scale and quality of supply to make that intelligence matter. Rather than offering opaque, feature-driven AI, OpenX delivers disciplined, purpose-built intelligence that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows while maintaining clarity and control for buyers.

“In a market that keeps consolidating, supply diversification isn't optional. It's how we protect our clients' investments and performance,” said Oleg Korenfeld, Chief Technology Officer at CMI Media Group. “OpenX IQ helps with the strategy: independent identity capabilities, direct publisher relationships, and quality we can actually verify.”

"Buyers today are navigating a programmatic landscape that is faster and more complex than ever," said Joel Meyer, CTO at OpenX. "OpenX IQ is our answer to the industry's demand for intelligence that is transparent, practical, and built for the way buyers actually work — not by claiming more AI, but by delivering intelligence that buyers can trust and understand, customize, and apply with ease across channels, including CTV.”
