Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
FerryAI is a useful lower-star pick because PHP teams are often left out of local LLM and embedding infrastructure. The repo is early but unusually concrete: MIT license, tagged v0.1.x builds, Composer metadata, docs, examples, PHPStan/Psalm checks, and a large test count claimed in the README. It should be treated as worth_watch until the API settles and more users validate the FFI/runtime path.
Who should use it
Who should skip it
Skip MADEVAL/FerryAI for now if your priority is a tool you can use today without configuring a build pipeline or development environment.

Risk explanation
Native FFI and model runtimes load local libraries inside the PHP process; test dependency paths, memory use, and crash behavior before production use; The project is an early v0.1.x runtime with a still-stabilizing API; pin versions and expect interface changes before 1.0.
