Ext-Infer – Native LLM Inference and Embeddings for PHP

●●SolidBig BrainNiche Gem

In-process LLM inference in PHP beats the usual Python sidecar pattern.

Strengths
  • Rust bindings to llama-cpp-2 with ext-php-rs shows real technical depth
  • Latency argument is concrete: in-process calls bounded only by decode time
  • Fluent PHP API design matches native extensions like intl or pdo
Weaknesses
  • Pre-release status (v0.1.0 in flight) means production risk remains
  • PHP-only audience limits broader developer appeal
