[@ojsojs6004]

PHP Ecosystem keeps growing. NumPower was recently released. NumPower library was created to provide the foundation for efficient scientific computing in PHP, as well as leverage the machine learning tools and libraries that already exist and can benefit from it. This C extension developed for PHP can be used to considerably speed up mathematical operations on large datasets and facilitate the manipulation, creation and operation of N-dimensional tensors. The area of image processing and computer vision will also be able to benefit from this library. Some features of NumPower are: * GPU and CPU compute support * Dozens of different operations for manipulation, arithmetic, linear algebra, statistics and etc. * Single precision float points (float32) for improved memory usage * Custom CUDA kernels for almost all operations * AVX2 support when available on hardware * Support for GD images in RGB format for easy image manipulation

PHP 8.2 was released on 8th f December 2022. That's like 6 months ago... Is this an old recording?

Nope just recently. We don't really need breakneck speed releases so it's always good to wait some time till it's rolled out to cover it. As you can see, not too many breaking changers and some small performance improvement, but a step in the right direction.
