Miles Brundage asks how AI "neolabs" affect safety and policy

Miles Brundage says "neolabs" have been the elephant in the room of AI safety, security, and policy discussions.

In an X post on October 13, 2026, he asks which neolabs are important, what they mean for legislative thresholds, how much they limit the pace larger companies can set, and whether they have safety or security staff. The post is a set of questions, not a stated finding, and the report does not define "neolabs" or name any specific companies.
