🔥 Fuse for Laravel v0.10.0 is out! After my talk at Laravel Live Denmark, three different people asked me the same: when a half-open circuit runs its test job and it fails, does that job keep its place in the queue? It doesn't. release() sends it to the back, behind jobs that were queued after it.

Yesterday I gave my Advanced Circuit Breakers for Laravel talk here at @laravellive.dk and the response has been amazing! Thank you to everyone who found me to chat about Fuse for Laravel afterwards. Day 2 is underway, come say hi if we haven’t met yet!
New @laravelnews.com video is out! I built an invoicing app entirely inside a @zeropsio.bsky.social remote workspace, with Claude Code handling the infrastructure. Honestly the most fun I’ve had with a deploy pipeline in a while!

Ship AI with Laravel: I Tricked My Own AI Into Leaking Everything - Laravel News
First I socially engineer our own support agent into leaking its full system prompt and another customer's data. Then we lock it down with four layers of defense: a hardened prompt, a local LLM guard running on Ollama, tool-level authorization, and output filtering. The finale of Ship AI with Laravel.

Episode 11 of Ship AI with Laravel is live, and it’s the finale! 11 episodes, from composer require to a secure, production-ready AI platform. Thanks for building along 👇

Ship AI with Laravel: Give Your AI Agent Live Web Search - Laravel News
The agent can answer from our knowledge base, but not about things that change by the minute like shipping delays. In this episode we add the WebSearch tool so the agent can pull live information from the web, with a locked-down allow list so it only hits domains we trust.

Episode 7 of Ship AI with Laravel is live! This episode we fix that with streaming. The SDK has a one-line change from prompt to stream, and suddenly the response appears word by word in a Livewire chat UI as the agent generates it. Comes together really nicely 👇

Ship AI with Laravel: RAG with Embeddings and pgvector in Laravel 13 - Laravel News
Your agent looks up orders and remembers conversations but invents policies when customers ask about returns or shipping. In this episode we build a searchable knowledge base with embeddings and pgvector so the answers come from real documentation.

Ship AI with Laravel: Smart Ticket Triage with Structured Output - Laravel News
Your support agent can talk, but it responds in prose. You can't route a ticket or track sentiment from a paragraph. In this episode we build a TicketClassifier that returns structured JSON with category, priority, sentiment, and a summary. Clean data from messy customer messages.
