Laravel's AI package now handles real-time web search results with citations, fixes a critical bug in structured output parsing that silently broke JSON responses, and ships filesystem tools so agents can read and manage files without custom code.

The OpenRouterProvider now supports web search with proper citation handling [1], letting your AI agents fetch current information and cite sources in both streaming and non-streaming modes. At the same time, a subtle but dangerous bug was fixed [2] where some models wrap JSON responses in markdown fences, causing silent failures and empty arrays instead of the data you expected. If you're using structured output, this patch prevents data loss. The framework also fixed a replay bug [3] in stored conversations with tool calls, ensuring the message order stays correct when you load a multi-turn conversation from the database. New FileStorageTools [4] let you grant agents access to Laravel storage disks without rolling custom tools for every operation. On the framework side, Laravel 13.18.0 shipped [5] with cache improvements for debounced jobs and a new `input()` method on console commands [6] that gives you the same typed data accessors you're used to on requests. The maintenance mode command now respects JSON requests [7] instead of always returning HTML, fixing broken API responses during scheduled downtime. A TaggedCache bug [8] caused deferred callbacks to silently drop in flexible groups, leaving stale entries unvalidated. Envoy fixed a CPU-spiking bug [9] in parallel task execution where the polling loop never yielded, pinning cores at 100%.
