How to Integrate Xunfei Starfire Cognitive Model into PHP Projects – Step-by-Step Guide

Starfire Cognitive Model

Starfire Cognitive Model (Starfire Cognitive Mode1) is an AI‑driven cognitive model that simulates human thinking and reasoning by combining natural language processing, machine learning, and knowledge‑graph technologies.

The model is trained on massive corpora to understand and answer questions, and it can be applied to intelligent customer service, Q&A systems, virtual assistants, and other scenarios.

Version 2.0 Features

Stronger natural language processing powered by larger training data and deeper neural networks, yielding more accurate and fluent responses.

Richer knowledge base that can provide professional, in‑depth explanations and suggestions.

More personalized service by leveraging user profiles and interaction history.

Higher security and reliability with multiple safeguards to protect data privacy and ensure stable operation.

Preparation

Access the Starfire portal: https://xinghuo.xfyun.cn/

API free trial is available.

Note: you must register an account first; existing accounts can skip this step.

Steps to obtain credentials:

Create a new application in the console and claim free tokens.

Retrieve APPID, APISecret and APIKey from the Open Platform console: https://console.xfyun.cn/services/cbm

Reference the Web API documentation: https://www.xfyun.cn/doc/spark/Web.html

Test the service via the online demo: https://xinghuo.xfyun.cn/desk

Example Code

Repository: https://gitee.com/Tinywan_admin/spark.chatgpt.tinywan.com

Get the Code

git clone [email protected]:Tinywan_admin/spark.chatgpt.tinywan.com.git

Installation

Third‑party WebSocket library used: https://github.com/Textalk/websocket-php

cd spark.chatgpt.tinywan.com
composer require textalk/websocket

Configure Credentials

Copy the APPID , APIKey and APISecret obtained from the console into the corresponding fields of Spark.php .

$Appid = "007e50a0";
$Apikey = "UyZmNjNxxxxxxxxxxxxGY1Mzk3";
$ApiSecret = "5459f0f1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxd9ef7af4e";

Run a Test

Example: implement a bubble‑sort algorithm in PHP to verify the model call.
