Neolab and Emerging AI Lab Tracker

November 12, 2026 4:57 AM PT



A 2026 directory of neolabs, stealth labs, and emerging AI labs worldwide. This is a work in progress capturing the current neolab zeitgeist, focusing on labs that are shipping or at least have some sort of public comms in addition to their funding announcement(s).

Note: Scroll below the headlines for the neolab directory. If a well-known lab is missing (i.e Thinking Machines, SSI, Sakana, Reflection, Prime Intellect, etc.), it may be listed with the frontier AI labs.
