Since about 2020, AI has largely focused on training bigger and better models. Large language models (LLMs) ballooned from millions of parameters to trillions. This proved effective: The largest version of OpenAI’s GPT-3, released in 2020, correctly answered just 43.9 percent of questions on a popular knowledge-and-reasoning benchmark. Just four years later, GPT-4o reached a score of 88.7 percent on the same exam, effectively matching those of human experts. Advanced AI labs are still training ever larger models, but that training has somewhat receded to the background of the AI conversation. In 2026, inference—the use of trained models to produce code, write essays, or make images of ourselves as elves—has come to the forefront. “It’s like training is yesterday’s news,” says Matt Kimball , principal data-center analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. “All that any chief information officer

In 2003, Martin Eberhard, a cofounder of Tesla Motors , decided it was time to start wooing investors. To do that, however, he needed an electric car. So he talked to Alan Cocconi and asked if he could borrow the tZero , the revolutionary and blazingly fast electric roadster that Cocconi had built at AC Propulsion . Eberhard’s idea was to drive the tZero up and down Sand Hill Road in the heart of Silicon Valley and do demonstrations for curious entrepreneurs and VCs. Eberhard was joined by Tom Gage , Cocconi’s partner at AC Propulsion, on many of the visits. Like Tesla, AC Propulsion was also seeking investors, but to build a considerably more utilitarian EV. Adapted with permission from The EV Guys: How Caltech Engineers Reinvented the Electric Car , by Charles J. Murray, published by Purdue University Press. In December 2003, Eberhard also proposed a demo at Buck’s of Woodside , a popu
