PHP & AI: Beyond the Hype
summary
Symfony AI ships as a set of PHP components with ~85 packages and over 100 contributors and exposes concrete features: a platform bridge layer for OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini, structured output that populates PHP objects, embeddings and vector stores (Postgres PGVector, Chroma, Redis), and tool calling with an agent component that invokes app code via JSON Schema. Versioning is experimental (0.x), demos show live profiling and MCP integration but sometimes fail — the system works but is non‑deterministic.
