What is Speakeasy?
Speakeasy moved enforcement to the proxy: a bad prompt now dies before inference, not after.
Speakeasy is an AI control plane that meters agent spend and governs MCP servers, and it crossed 1.0 at the end of July by enforcing role-based access on every plan tier instead of gating it behind a plan. The August releases widen what it can see — ChatGPT and ChatGPT Work usage now counts toward tokens under management alongside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — and add a second shadow-MCP posture that allows servers by default and names the ones to block. LiteLLM has become a first-class source, with prompt policies checked at the proxy.
What is Angular?
Angular's 22.x prerelease train is grinding through correctness, not shipping new features.
Angular is publishing a continuous prerelease train, with 22.1 having moved through next.5, next.6 and rc.0 before 22.2 opened at next.0 and next.1. The content is overwhelmingly correctness work: HTTP FetchBackend fixes around aborts, charset handling, interceptor ordering and cookie parsing; hydration trigger initialization after late runtime activation; and pending-status propagation in signal forms. The two genuinely additive items in the window are compiler support for foreign components inside control flow blocks and CSS variable namespacing to the application.

Speakeasy
10.0DEVOPS
Speakeasy moved enforcement to the proxy: a bad prompt now dies before inference, not after.
◆ Current state
Speakeasy is an AI control plane that meters agent spend and governs MCP servers, and it crossed 1.0 at the end of July by enforcing role-based access on every plan tier instead of gating it behind a plan. The August releases widen what it can see — ChatGPT and ChatGPT Work usage now counts toward tokens under management alongside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — and add a second shadow-MCP posture that allows servers by default and names the ones to block. LiteLLM has become a first-class source, with prompt policies checked at the proxy.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from observing AI usage to intercepting it. Early releases catalogued spend and inventoried shadow MCP servers; the newest ones stop a policy-violating prompt before it reaches a model, and turn a bypass approval into a project-wide unblock rather than a private exception. Coverage breadth and enforcement point are being pushed together, which is what a control plane needs in order to be authoritative rather than advisory.
◆ Prediction
Expect more first-class sources onboarded through the same proxy-ingestion pattern, and the project assistant to keep gaining the ability to act on findings rather than list them. The entries say nothing about enforcement latency or what happens when the proxy check fails, which is the open question for anything sitting in the request path.
Angular
5.0DEVOPS
Angular's 22.x prerelease train is grinding through correctness, not shipping new features.
◆ Current state
Angular is publishing a continuous prerelease train, with 22.1 having moved through next.5, next.6 and rc.0 before 22.2 opened at next.0 and next.1. The content is overwhelmingly correctness work: HTTP FetchBackend fixes around aborts, charset handling, interceptor ordering and cookie parsing; hydration trigger initialization after late runtime activation; and pending-status propagation in signal forms. The two genuinely additive items in the window are compiler support for foreign components inside control flow blocks and CSS variable namespacing to the application.
◆ Where it's heading
Signal forms and the standalone control-flow syntax are where the remaining rough edges are being sanded, which reads as both features approaching maturity rather than expanding. The HTTP layer is getting an unusual concentration of spec-conformance fixes in a single prerelease, suggesting a pass over FetchBackend rather than scattered bug reports. Tooling is quietly improving alongside the framework, with DevTools deep linking from the Performance panel and better debug naming for signal queries. Expect the 22.2 line to look much like 22.1 did.
◆ Prediction
22.1 should reach a stable release shortly given rc.0 has already shipped, with the 22.2 next series continuing to accumulate signal-forms and compiler fixes. Nothing in these entries points to a new major capability landing in this line.
