Laravel AI v0.9.0 ships native Anthropic structured outputs and strips away redundant gateway boilerplate that's been slowing down provider implementations for months.

The AI package dropped v0.9.0 [1] with missing return type generics now baked into embeddings and reranking responses, plus the ability to disable embeddings cache per request. More significantly, the team killed the TextGateway contract entirely [2] [3], collapsing duplicate forwarding logic that every provider gateway was forced to carry. The multi-step text generation API now lives exclusively in TextGenerationLoop, with FakeTextGateway emitting ToolCall stream events to match real provider behavior. Framework keeps pace with v13.19.0 [6] adding first-party image processing [7] with a driver-based immutable API that optimizes uploads from 2.1 MB down to 75.8 KB in one call, plus new QueueFake hooks [8] letting you manipulate time between job dispatches in tests. v12.63.0 [5] handles lost database connections more gracefully and guards JsonSchema deserializers against unbounded $ref expansion attacks. The TextGateway removal needs documented [4], and you'll want to read the upgrade guide carefully if you're running custom provider implementations.
