Abstract The most recent data release from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) reveals a larger value of the scalar spectral tilt nₛ, ruling out a broad class of inflationary attractors. In this paper, we consider inflationary models including the power law potential, the hilltop model, the polynomial α-attractor and exponential α-attractor, with non-minimally derivative coupling in the high friction limit, and show how the models can fit ACT data. We also derive constraints on the model parameters using the latest ACT data.
