## FAQ

### Manage package versions

For a pnpm workspace, use catalogs to keep package versions together.
This archived example demonstrates a shared version entry.
Replace its version with `0.5.1` to select the frozen API described here.

```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
catalog:
  '@xsai/embed': &xsai ^0.1.0
  '@xsai/generate-text': *xsai
  '@xsai/shared': *xsai
  '@xsai/shared-chat': *xsai
```

### Use one package

Install [xsai](/v0/packages-top/xsai) to import the core operations from one dependency.
Use the individual packages when you need fewer operations.
