Laravel 13 has been released, requiring PHP 8.3 as the minimum version. Key highlights include first-class support for native PHP Attributes across 15+ framework locations (models, jobs, console commands), a new first-party Laravel AI SDK for text generation, tool-calling agents, embeddings, and vector-store integrations, native JSON:API resources, centralized queue routing via Queue::route(), semantic/vector search support with pgvector integration, and a new Cache::touch() method for extending TTLs without fetching values. The release focuses on minimizing breaking changes while delivering quality-of-life improvements. Bug fixes are supported through Q3 2027 and security updates through Q1 2028.
