What is ElevenLabs?

ElevenLabs is turning voice agents into versioned software, with weekly API surface to prove it.

The changelog is dominated by ElevenAgents, shipped as dense weekly API digests rather than feature posts. Agents now have branches, merges, rebases and version filters, plus procedures that compile into workflows, knowledge-base crawl jobs and per-agent sentiment analysis. Alongside that, the core model lines keep advancing: Music v2, Speech Engine, and now Dubbing v2 through the API.

What is FoRecoML?

The machine-learning arm of a forecast reconciliation toolkit, four months old and already sharing its sibling's plumbing.

FoRecoML brings machine-learning approaches to forecast reconciliation across cross-sectional, temporal, and cross-temporal frameworks through csrml(), terml(), and ctrml(). It reached CRAN in April 2026 and has since spent both releases integrating with FoReco rather than expanding its own method set: results are now FoReco's foreco objects, and print() and summary() report framework, approach, problem dimensions, features, training sample size, combination matrix, and trained models.

ElevenLabs is turning voice agents into versioned software, with weekly API surface to prove it.

◆ Current state

The changelog is dominated by ElevenAgents, shipped as dense weekly API digests rather than feature posts. Agents now have branches, merges, rebases and version filters, plus procedures that compile into workflows, knowledge-base crawl jobs and per-agent sentiment analysis. Alongside that, the core model lines keep advancing: Music v2, Speech Engine, and now Dubbing v2 through the API.

◆ Where it's heading

Two arcs run in parallel. The agent platform is acquiring the mechanics of source control, which points at teams operating many agent versions in production rather than one hand-tuned assistant. The model lines are being rebuilt one at a time and exposed API-first, with older v1 models given explicit removal dates. Dubbing is the newest line to make that jump.

◆ Prediction

The v1 deprecation pattern suggests dubbing_v1 gets a removal date next, and the branch tooling looks close to gaining an approval or promotion step given merge previews already exist.

The machine-learning arm of a forecast reconciliation toolkit, four months old and already sharing its sibling's plumbing.

◆ Current state

FoRecoML brings machine-learning approaches to forecast reconciliation across cross-sectional, temporal, and cross-temporal frameworks through csrml(), terml(), and ctrml(). It reached CRAN in April 2026 and has since spent both releases integrating with FoReco rather than expanding its own method set: results are now FoReco's foreco objects, and print() and summary() report framework, approach, problem dimensions, features, training sample size, combination matrix, and trained models.

◆ Where it's heading

This package is being built as a satellite, not a competitor. Adopting FoReco's exported new_foreco_class() constructor within days of that class appearing means FoRecoML results drop straight into the same print, summary, plot, and components methods as analytically reconciled ones — which is what makes machine-learning and classical reconciliation directly comparable in a single workflow. The 1.1.1 argument-validation work landed in the same minute as the equivalent change in FoReco, so the two are being maintained as one release train.

◆ Prediction

With the integration work done, the next release is more likely to add or expose machine-learning approaches than to keep reshaping output; the structured summary already enumerates features and trained models, which suggests inspection tooling is where attention has been.
