Feeling particularly impressed by and grateful for @packagist today. Amidst the craziness of upgrading PHP and deploying all our microservices at the most critical release window, with everyone doing the same, everything went smoothly. Thank you! 🙏

PapiAI 0.15 is out across 19 packages. One effort scale across every provider. Forced tool choice, answered by type not a boolean. Codebase ingestion on a token budget. Token optimisation for noisy command output. Still zero runtime deps in the core. papi-ai.org/blog/whats-new-i…

My new book is now on amazon (amoz.onl/5fJ). If you are into Sanskrit or South Asia theology and ancient history (who isn’t, right? 🙂) you can check it out. It is partly a memoir, with bits of my monastery years. Namaste! 🕉️ 🙏

I wrote a proof of concept for a new version of @phpspec that let you use AI for pair programming. See the RFC/proposal here github.com/phpspec/phpspec/p… I also put together a site to showcase the new features phpspec-site.fly.dev Please give me feedback? Retweet for reach?

A comparison of Papi with @Laravel AI here papi-ai.org/blog/papi-ai-vs-…
I wrote PapiAI, a library to build AI applications with PHP. Also wrote a book to help you use the library with either vanilla, Symfony or Laravel apps. Let me know your thoughts! Blog - lnkd.in/eXzGvuTM Repo - lnkd.in/eJ-KhTtW Book - lnkd.in/e7VM34xG
