Instead of overriding the newEloquentBuilder() method, developers can now use this attribute to specify a custom builder class. Custom query builders help organize model scopes, reduce model bloat, and provide reusable query methods. The custom builder class must extend Laravel's Builder class and can include methods like wherePublished() for common query patterns.
