  Laravel Framework 12.x - Add Support for `temporaryUploadUrl` to the `local` Filesystem

  Laravel enables temporary upload URLs on the local driver to unify upload flows across local, staging, and production.

  Pull request by @mnapoli

  You can now generate temporary upload URLs even when you're using the local driver, making it much easier to build consistent upload flows across local, staging, and production environments.

  use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
  $url = Storage::disk('local')->temporaryUploadUrl(
      'uploads/incoming/video.mp4',
      now()->addMinutes(10),
      ['Content-Type' => 'video/mp4']
  );

  Laravel Framework 12.x - [12.x] Add `makeMany` Method to Factory

  Laravel introduces makeMany to generate multiple in-memory model instances without persisting, ideal for tests and previews.

  Pull request by @jackbayliss

  makeMany() gives you a clean, expressive way to generate multiple in-memory model instances without persisting anything. It's ideal for tests, previews, and shaping data before a write.

  $users = User::factory()->makeMany(3);
  $payload = $users->map->only(['name', 'email']);

  Laravel Framework 12.x - [12.x] Allow Closures for Values in `firstOrCreate` and `createOrFirst`

  Laravel adds lazy attribute computation on record creation to reduce queries, illustrated by firstOrCreate with Geocoder resolution.

  Pull request by @gcavanunez

  You can now lazily compute attribute values only when a record is actually being created. That means fewer unnecessary queries and less wasted work when the model already exists.

  $location = Location::firstOrCreate(
    ['address' => $address],
    fn () => ['coordinates' => Geocoder::resolve($address)],
  );

  Laravel Framework 12.x - [12.x] Support `afterSending` Method on Notification

  Laravel introduces an afterSending hook for notifications enabling audit logging and cleanup after dispatch.

  Pull request by @gdebrauwer

  afterSending() lets you hook into the lifecycle after a notification is dispatched, which is perfect for audit logging, metrics, or cleanup work without cluttering your notification channels.

  Code

  class BookingNotification extends Notification
  {
      public function __construct(
          public Booking $booking;
      ) {
          //
      }
      public function via()
      {
          return ['mail'];
      }
      public function toMail()
      {
          // ...
      }
      public function afterSending($notifiable, $channel, $response)
      {
          $this->booking->update(['notified_at' => now()]);
      }
  }

  AI SDK - [12.x] Add `InteractsWithData::clamp()`

  Laravel adds clamp() on InteractsWithData to bound numeric input for pagination and user controls.

  Pull request by @cosmastech

  A clamp() method has been added to the InteractsWithData trait, giving you a tidy way to bound numeric input values, which is great for pagination, limits, sliders, and any user-controlled numbers.

  // Instead of:
  /** @var int<PHP_INT_MIN, PHP_INT_MAX> $perPage /
  $perPage = request()->integer('per_page', 50);
  // You can now do:
  /* @var int<1, 100> $perPage */
  $perPage = request()->clamp('per_page', 1, 100, 50);

  AI SDK - Make Provider Default Models Configurable

  Laravel lets users configure default text, image, audio, transcription, and embedding models in ai.php for granular control.

  Pull request by @pfrug

  The default models used for text, images, audio, transcription, and embeddings may are now configurable in your application's config/ai.php file. This gives you granular control over the exact models you'd like to use if you don't want to rely on the package defaults.

  return [
      'models' => [
          'text' => [
              'default' => 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
              'cheapest' => 'claude-haiku-4-5-20251001',
              'smartest' => 'claude-opus-4-6',
          ],
      ],
