Laravel 13.0.0

Release Date: March 17, 2026

Laravel 13.0.0 ships with first-party AI tooling, passkey authentication, and a broad migration to PHP 8.3 Attributes — all with zero breaking changes.

AI SDK stable — native vector query, embedding workflows, and semantic search APIs as first-party components; no more stitching third-party packages for AI-powered search
Passkey authentication — built-in WebAuthn support via a dedicated Passkey facade; users can sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or platform biometrics
PHP 8.3 Attributes everywhere — 15+ configuration points migrated from properties to attributes: model schemas via #[Column] / #[Table], queue config on job classes via #[Queue], command scheduling via #[Schedule]; old property syntax continues with deprecation notices
JSON:API resources — new resource layer that returns spec-compliant JSON:API responses with auto-generated type, id, attributes, relationships, and links
14 security fixes — including a long-standing SQLite schema reflection edge case and improved scheduler reliability under high load

Upgrade via composer create-project laravel/laravel:^13.0 or laravel new.
