Yeah, I was a little confused at all the talk about ML becoming a first class citizen in the language, when in reality it’s just a math library. (a seemingly good math library to be fair!)
I don’t know though, I feel like calling out to an API for doing ML stuff in PHP is always gonna make more sense. The compute power in services offered by AI companies are typically gonna be better than what you probably have on the server that’s running your PHP code. Unless your business is completely built around doing some kind of ML inference AND you went all in on PHP for the backend, then I guess it would make sense.
It’s still a cool extension. I myself still maintain multiple websites built with PHP. It’s not dead people!
