LLM structured outputs are your "make money" button

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

People don’t want to buy enterprise software

They want to buy a “make money” button they can press repeatedly

The rise of intelligence/reasoning in LLMs means this button becomes real, and it will look like new products fully replacing what used to be armies of consultants

@godlike How?

[Dariusz Debowczyk @ddebowczyk]

PHP agents can delegate too.

InstructorPHP lets one agent spawn subagents with isolated prompts, tools, and budgets. Register a `reviewer`, enable `UseSubagents`, and let the parent coordinate the workflow.

InstructorPHP v2.3.0 gives Laravel a real first-party integration surface, not just a PHP SDK dropped into `app/Services`.

You get container-resolved `StructuredOutput`, facades for structured extraction, inference, embeddings, and agents, plus Laravel-native testing fakes instead of custom mocks.

The package also plugs into Laravel HTTP, events, logging, telemetry, and native-agent runtime wiring so AI features live inside normal app patterns.

InstructorPHP v2.3.0 makes Symfony feel native.

You can inject `StructuredOutput` into a controller, map raw user text straight into a typed DTO, and return JSON without building custom glue around prompts, parsing, retries, or validation.

@antirez @AdrienBrault The cost of naive / junior devs using AI to quickly execute bad ideas is going to make competent senior devs 10x more valuable.

Instructor for PHP v2.2.0 is available with deep telemetry across the stack - for structured outputs, but also for inference, agent controller and agent runs, down to HTTP requests.

It comes with preconfigured, ready to use integration with #Logfire by @samuelcolvin, #Langfuse by @Langfuse (and generic OpenTelemetry support).

Instructor PHP now ships with an Agent SDK.

Give your agent tools and a task — it loops autonomously, deciding which actions to take. No orchestration code.

Here: a BashTool agent that runs shell commands on its own.

Instructor for PHP 2.0.0 is released with new faster and more memory efficient streaming of structured outputs. It is leaner and cleaner, more reliable and has a better, more consistent API.

Instructor contains a lightweight agent SDK and allows you to control coding agents like Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode or Pi Mono with live streamed responses and safe sandbox execution.

Instructor for PHP v1.12.0 is released.

The main focus of this version has been refactoring of LLM data streaming for improved speed and reduced memory use (via transducer based pipeline). It also makes the code easier to extend with new modes that I've been experimenting with (coming soon).

New version adds curl as default HTTP driver, which makes it usable without installing any extra HTTP client packages (Instructor supports Guzzle, Symfony HTTP and Laravel HTTP).

@zby Great post and article. Impressive work, Zbigniew.

Instructor for PHP v1.11.0 is available.

v1.11 initiates the transition towards transducer based stream processing, which will allow more flexibility around building and modifying internal processing pipelines.

Summary of changes:
- New stream package with functional stream processing library with 24+ sources, 40+ transducers, and reducers
- Streaming architecture completely redesigned for modularity and testability
- New data structures (Deque, Buffer, RingBuffer) and error collection system
- Better PHPDoc annotations and flexible type hints
