The PHP ecosystem runs a huge share of the web, and for a while it had no serious, shared answer to “how do I call an LLM properly?” — every plugin and agency rolled its own HTTP wrapper. As part of my work on the **WordPress Core AI Team** (2025–present), I contribute to the **PHP AI Client**: an SDK that gives PHP one clean interface to LLM APIs. One interface, multiple providers, sane defaults — so the thousands of developers building on WordPress and PHP get a foundation instead of a copy-pasted cURL call. This is the same thesis as the rest of my work: infrastructure that makes the right thing the easy thing. My open-source work in this ecosystem also includes contributions toward AI in WordPress Core itself. Follow along via [my WordPress.org profile](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mokhaled/).
