What is HeyGen?

HeyGen now runs its own voice model and lets you direct it by speaking a line yourself

HeyGen's October was about voice. It launched HeyGen Voice, its own voice model, included in every video at no extra cost, with clones from 60 seconds of audio, Adaptive and Exact modes, other-language reads and an API priced at $30 per million characters. Two weeks later came speech-to-speech: record a line on a phone and get it back in your HeyGen Voice with your timing and emphasis. The same month added ElevenLabs v4 as an option, a Video 1.0 API, template creation over the API, and admin controls for member usage limits.

What is Promptfoo?

Promptfoo's feed has gone quiet except for small fixes to its code-scan action.

The newest entries are code-scan GitHub Action patches: 0.2.1 updates type definitions and 0.2.2 mints the OIDC token after the CLI installs. The main evaluator's last visible release, 0.121.20 in July, added Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3 and websocket URL templating, following a run of releases that tracked each new frontier model.

HeyGen now runs its own voice model and lets you direct it by speaking a line yourself

◆ Current state

HeyGen's October was about voice. It launched HeyGen Voice, its own voice model, included in every video at no extra cost, with clones from 60 seconds of audio, Adaptive and Exact modes, other-language reads and an API priced at $30 per million characters. Two weeks later came speech-to-speech: record a line on a phone and get it back in your HeyGen Voice with your timing and emphasis. The same month added ElevenLabs v4 as an option, a Video 1.0 API, template creation over the API, and admin controls for member usage limits.

◆ Where it's heading

HeyGen is moving voice in-house while still offering ElevenLabs as a choice, so the voice layer becomes part of its own stack rather than a resale. Around it, the enterprise releases keep adding admin, brand and API surface, so the product is sold to teams as much as to individual creators.

◆ Prediction

Expect speech-to-speech and HeyGen Voice to spread into translation and Video Agent workflows, since both were launched as available in the app and the API.

5.0

Promptfoo's feed has gone quiet except for small fixes to its code-scan action.

◆ Current state

The newest entries are code-scan GitHub Action patches: 0.2.1 updates type definitions and 0.2.2 mints the OIDC token after the CLI installs. The main evaluator's last visible release, 0.121.20 in July, added Claude Opus 5, Kimi K3 and websocket URL templating, following a run of releases that tracked each new frontier model.

◆ Where it's heading

The evaluator's rhythm is provider coverage plus red-team strategies, and the code-scan action is maintained on its own track. The feed shows no evaluator release since July, which may be a feed gap rather than a pause.

◆ Prediction

If the evaluator is still shipping, the next visible entry will likely add the latest frontier models; the feed doesn't show whether it stopped.
