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 Kestra?

Kestra's feed is design-system package releases while 2.1.0 waits past its first RC.

Kestra's recent entries are frontend package releases. Design-system v0.7.0 changed the build setup and v0.7.1 shipped with new plumage and topology packages, all licensed for npm on November 6. Kestra 2.1.0-rc1 was tagged on October 20 with no notes, and no final 2.1.0 has appeared.

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.

5.0

Kestra's feed is design-system package releases while 2.1.0 waits past its first RC.

◆ Current state

Kestra's recent entries are frontend package releases. Design-system v0.7.0 changed the build setup and v0.7.1 shipped with new plumage and topology packages, all licensed for npm on November 6. Kestra 2.1.0-rc1 was tagged on October 20 with no notes, and no final 2.1.0 has appeared.

◆ Where it's heading

Kestra is splitting its UI into separately published npm packages, which suggests the topology and design components may be reused outside the main app. Product release notes are absent from this feed.

◆ Prediction

Unclear from these entries; a 2.1.0 release or further package versions are the likely next items.
