I describe a simple class of $\\alpha$-attractors, generalizing the\nsingle-field GL model of inflation in supergravity. The new class of models is\ndefined for $0<\\alpha \\lesssim 1$, providing a good match to the present\ncosmological data. I also present a generalized version of these models which\ncan describe not only inflation but also dark energy and supersymmetry\nbreaking.\n
