Laravel AI gained Mistral text-to-speech and fixed a silent Groq failover gap overnight, and one of those changes might have already cost you a production request.

The Mistral provider now supports TTS through the existing `mistral` connection, so you can call `Audio::of(...)` with Voxtral models like `voxtral-mini-tts-2603` [1]. Meanwhile, Groq's `overloadedStatusCodes()` was missing status 498, the documented "flex tier capacity exceeded" code, so failover was silently ignored during capacity spikes: `withModelFailover` never caught a raw `RequestException`, and callers got a bare Guzzle error [2]. That fix has merged [3], alongside the audio support [4]. The companion PR limits overloaded codes to only those Groq actually documents [5]. Elsewhere, the MCP docs just fixed a broken example because v0.9.4's `web(string $route, string $serverClass)` requires both arguments [6][7]. Quiet stack otherwise, but these two changes touch real production paths.

Action items

→ Update to the latest laravel/ai to pick up Groq failover fix and Mistral TTS support laravel/ai [immediate]
→ Review any Groq flex-tier consumers for silent raw exceptions before the update laravel/ai [plan]
→ Verify your SKILL.php examples match the two-argument web() signature in MCP v0.9.4 laravel/mcp [plan]
