For years, AI has moved in one direction:

Larger models. Larger data centers. Greater dependence on the cloud.

What if more intelligence does not require more scale?

At @Quantaeon, we are building quantum-inspired AI for private, local, enterprise intelligence.

@SawyerMerritt It is not necessarily a good idea. It can significantly disrupt traffic. Take a look at our recent study: https://t.co/RQHkbiVL1w

Hoping to get access to Genie 3 for a project that could help save countless lives. Any chance to collaborate, @GoogleDeepMind?

[Center for Connected and Automated Transportation @UMichCCAT]

We are pleased to welcome @artalebpour to the first CCAT Research Review of 2025! Professor Talebpour will highlight his work aimed at optimizing #electricVehicle charging infrastructure locations.

@ryanjaycowan I paid about $1,600 to replace tires on my Model Y in less than 1.5 years (not entirely a Tesla issue but they decided to put that tire on their vehicles).

@elonmusk Where are the independents in this chart? Including them in this graph will change the perspective (at least for some disciplines).

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

I have bought 5 new @continentaltire tires for my @Tesla Model Y in less than 15 months. Somehow, there’s always a nail in the tire, and it’s deemed unrepairable. This is ridiculous! Why can’t Tesla find a better tire manufacturer?!!

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

@AlexRoy144 This happened to me the other day. No idea why it decided to drive on the lane marking.

@jorge_laval I really like what it does with transportation papers. I tried one of @h_khosravian papers (on surface chemistry) and it was not really accurate (based on her feedback).

Thank you @AirCanada for stranding my two elderly (87 and 77 years old) parents-in-law in Vancouver airport. They have their US green card and yet, your agents refusing to check them in for no reason. Instead they are just laughing at them and ignoring them. THANK YOU!

Here is the third episode of the #TFTC podcast. @LudoLeclercq and Nikolas Geroliminis talk about network-level traffic flow, the importance of open data, and many other topics. Watch now on YouTube: https://t.co/VMJdPGllUQ

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

@jorge_laval This is bound to happen one way or the other. The key question is how much new knowledge (fundamental discoveries) one can generate by recycling and combining the existing knowledge?

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

@jorge_laval @TFTC_TRB I truly enjoyed our conversation. Thank you for taking the time.

[traffic flow theory and characteristics @TFTC_TRB]

Here is the second episode of the #TFTC podcast. This episode explores Self-Organized Criticality, Power Law, and a Scaling Theory of Urban Congestion with @jorge_laval. Watch now on YouTube: https://t.co/cpOFLLIxeg

It was an honor to share our research at the @ARPAE Energy Innovation Summit.

Our @ENERGY-sponsored research aims to develop an innovative approach to freight and energy systems modeling that focuses on low-carbon and resilient freight transport. 🖥️🚚

A super exciting presentation by @b_rational discussing flow efficiency and equity in urban traffic. @InfoNUTC @UMTRI #CCAT

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

@SawyerMerritt I agree with you that the free month FSD was a fantastic idea to get a lot more data very quickly. I think they needed the data for the August announcement/release.

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

@SawyerMerritt Do you really see a difference when driving 12.x (as opposed to 11.x? still impressive but I see the same issues: sharp unnecessary steering when taking off-ramps at high speeds, inability to merge timely when a lane ends, sudden steering movement in congested traffic, etc.

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

Do you think @Tesla can put their robotaxis on the road this year?

[Alireza Talebpour @artalebpour]

@b_rational @InfoNUTC Many thanks @b_rational for joining the podcast. Your insights and stories made for an incredible episode. Thank you for your time. #gratitude
