What is Supabase?

Supabase is reversing its biggest security default - public-schema tables no longer auto-exposed via PostgREST.

The headline shipping move is a deliberate change to Supabase's security posture: new projects can opt out of automatic Data API and GraphQL exposure for public-schema tables, with broader defaults flipping in May. Around it: an OAuth 2.1 compliance fix, an RLS Tester preview to make policy verification possible from the UI, and a steady drumbeat of platform improvements summarized in the monthly developer update.

What is ElevenLabs?

ElevenLabs widens from TTS into a full voice-agent and music platform

ElevenLabs is shipping on two fronts: new foundational capabilities, a Music v2 model with chunk-based composition and Speech Engine, which adds real-time voice to a developer's own agent or LLM, and a relentless cadence of ElevenAgents API work (Exotel telephony, workflow-aware transfers, new LLM options, SIP logs, knowledge-base editing) plus deprecations of v1 TTS/STT models and weekly SDK regenerations.

Supabase is reversing its biggest security default - public-schema tables no longer auto-exposed via PostgREST.

◆ Current state

The headline shipping move is a deliberate change to Supabase's security posture: new projects can opt out of automatic Data API and GraphQL exposure for public-schema tables, with broader defaults flipping in May. Around it: an OAuth 2.1 compliance fix, an RLS Tester preview to make policy verification possible from the UI, and a steady drumbeat of platform improvements summarized in the monthly developer update.

◆ Where it's heading

Supabase is rebuilding the security defaults that made it fast to start with but easy to misconfigure. Combine the no-auto-expose change with the RLS Tester preview and the direction is clear: the platform is moving from convention-based exposure to explicit, testable access control. The OAuth compliance fix and developer updates suggest steady investment in standards conformance rather than new product surface this window.

◆ Prediction

Expect the no-auto-expose default to apply to existing projects (with a long opt-out runway), and the RLS Tester to graduate from preview into the dashboard as a first-class panel. Continued breaking-change drumbeat tied to OAuth/OIDC compliance is likely.

ElevenLabs widens from TTS into a full voice-agent and music platform

◆ Current state

ElevenLabs is shipping on two fronts: new foundational capabilities, a Music v2 model with chunk-based composition and Speech Engine, which adds real-time voice to a developer's own agent or LLM, and a relentless cadence of ElevenAgents API work (Exotel telephony, workflow-aware transfers, new LLM options, SIP logs, knowledge-base editing) plus deprecations of v1 TTS/STT models and weekly SDK regenerations.

◆ Where it's heading

The company is consolidating into a voice-AI platform: owning the model layer (music, TTS, STT, turn detection) while making ElevenAgents and Speech Engine the programmable runtime others build conversational voice on. Aggressive deprecation signals confidence in pushing customers to current models.

◆ Prediction

Expect Speech Engine and Music v2 to mature with more controls, continued ElevenAgents telephony and workflow depth, and further old-model sunsets.
