There are other better tools for ML like Python. Laravel is for the web so it can be a CONSUMER of ML but not really the creation mechanism. It's just not Laravel purpose.
Ok, all the last night announcements by Taylor, I've compiled them into one article.
Laracon US 2024: Laravel Cloud, Inertia v2, VS Code and Laravel 11 "Minor" Features
laraveldaily.com/post/laracon-us-2024-laravel-cloud-inertia-v2-vs-code
Feeling like a proper journalist now :)
But actually, not sure about the accuracy of this, Crunchbase says announcement date "May 5, 2023" (so I guess we would have heard about it by now?) with no links to back it up.
I'm pretty sure they did take outside money, not sure in which form - loan, investment, etc.
Laravel products are big but I don't think they are THAT big to pay good salaries to 30+ people.
But Taylor doesn't have to disclose it, really. Business decisions are not for public. Same partnership with Sentry: we don't know the details.
However, I think Taylor negotiated all the partnerships in a way that he stays the decision maker.
