README

The most comprehensive curated list of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, NLP, LLM and Data Science libraries for PHP.

Inspired by awesome-php and the broader Awesome ecosystem.

Goal: make it easy to build intelligent systems with PHP — from classic ML to modern LLM-based workflows.

What is this?

• Curated list of PHP libraries and tools for Machine Learning, AI, NLP, LLMs and Data Science.
• Focused on code-first resources: packages, SDKs, frameworks, and building blocks.
• Aimed at PHP developers who want to add intelligent features to existing apps or build new AI-powered systems.

How to use this list

• Classic ML / traditional models – start with php-ai/php-ml and RubixML/RubixML.
• LLM-powered apps & agents – see LLMs & AI APIs, Embeddings & Vector Search, and framework integrations (Laravel/Symfony).
• RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) – combine php-rag with vector databases like pgvector or Meilisearch.
• Numerical computing & math – explore Math, Statistics & Linear Algebra for tensors, matrices, and statistics.
• Production integration – use Interop & Model Serving and framework integrations to wire models into real apps.

Example "recipes"

• I want to build a Laravel RAG app
  Use an LLM client like 🌟 openai-php/client, embeddings + vector search via 🌟 LLPhant/LLPhant with 🌟 pgvector/pgvector or 🌟 meilisearch/meilisearch-php, and orchestrate agents/RAG flows with 🌟 neuron-core/neuron-ai, integrating into Laravel using 🌟 openai-php/laravel and the packages under Laravel & Framework Integrations.

• I only need translation or vision
  For translation, see 🌟 deepl-php and 🌟 googleapis/google-cloud-php under Interop & Model Serving. For image/vision workloads, combine Computer Vision, Image & Video Processing libraries with cloud AI services via 🌟 symfony/ai or openai-php/client from LLMs & AI APIs.

Recommended core stack

These are opinionated defaults you can reach for when you just want something that works in production.

• General ML: 🌟 RubixML/RubixML for end-to-end ML pipelines.
• LLM clients: 🌟 openai-php/client and 🌟 google-gemini-php/client for major model providers.
• Embeddings & vector search: 🌟 LLPhant/LLPhant with 🌟 pgvector/pgvector, 🌟 pgvector/pgvector-php, 🌟 meilisearch/meilisearch-php or 🌟 algolia/algoliasearch-client-php.
• Data processing: 🌟 flow-php/flow for typed ETL-style pipelines.
• Interop with Python ML: 🌟 swoole/phpy to call into the Python ecosystem when needed.
