APA102
Driven with the APA102 protocol by every library, and generally treated as a faster APA102. The caveat is that the specifications are vendor claims rather than a verifiable manufacturer datasheet, and the HD107S, APA107 and APA102 are frequently conflated in listings.
Dating evidence
Nobody announces these parts, so this records what we can actually cite rather than a release date. Library support proves only that the part existed by that date.
