What is Speakeasy?
Speakeasy defaults its assistants to Claude Sonnet 5 and layers on enterprise access controls.
Speakeasy's assistant platform (Elements + Platform) is advancing on two fronts: it now defaults new assistants to Claude Sonnet 5, and it is stacking enterprise governance — editable role permissions, a chat:read scope for agent sessions, risk-detection tuning, shadow-MCP enforcement, and CIMD OAuth support.
What is Auth0?
Auth0 doubles down on enterprise provisioning and machine identity for the agent era
Auth0 is expanding well beyond login into the full enterprise identity lifecycle. Recent releases center on SCIM provisioning in both directions, refresh-token lifecycle control, and machine-to-machine access scoped for AI agents and partner backends. Alongside the capability work, the Dashboard is getting an information-architecture and search overhaul.

Speakeasy defaults its assistants to Claude Sonnet 5 and layers on enterprise access controls.
◆ Current state
Speakeasy's assistant platform (Elements + Platform) is advancing on two fronts: it now defaults new assistants to Claude Sonnet 5, and it is stacking enterprise governance — editable role permissions, a chat:read scope for agent sessions, risk-detection tuning, shadow-MCP enforcement, and CIMD OAuth support.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is an enterprise-ready agent platform: a frontier model by default, plus the RBAC, auth-compatibility, and MCP-governance controls larger organizations require to deploy assistants safely. Product-assistant UX polish rounds out the release train.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued governance and access-control depth (finer RBAC, MCP enforcement, auth-provider compatibility) alongside model and assistant-UX updates, grounded in the security and model changes shipped this window.

Auth0 doubles down on enterprise provisioning and machine identity for the agent era
◆ Current state
Auth0 is expanding well beyond login into the full enterprise identity lifecycle. Recent releases center on SCIM provisioning in both directions, refresh-token lifecycle control, and machine-to-machine access scoped for AI agents and partner backends. Alongside the capability work, the Dashboard is getting an information-architecture and search overhaul.
◆ Where it's heading
The clear arc is B2B provisioning depth: inbound SCIM groups reached GA, Google Workspace group sync opened up, and now outbound SCIM lets Auth0 push user changes downstream without custom infrastructure, making Auth0 a bidirectional provisioning hub rather than only an IdP. In parallel, refresh-token metadata and bulk revocation give operators finer session control, and M2M access for third-party apps positions Auth0 for agent-to-API authorization.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Early Access provisioning and refresh-token endpoints to move toward GA, and the Dashboard IA refresh to exit beta as the default experience.
