## Peer dependencies

The SDK uses the [Vercel AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev) for tool definitions, model selection, and streaming. Install `ai` alongside it:

<CodeBlockTabs defaultValue="npm">
  <CodeBlockTabsList>
    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="npm">
      npm
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>

    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="pnpm">
      pnpm
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>

    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="yarn">
      yarn
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>

    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="bun">
      bun
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>
  </CodeBlockTabsList>

  <CodeBlockTab value="npm">
    ```bash
    npm i ai
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>

  <CodeBlockTab value="pnpm">
    ```bash
    pnpm add ai
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>

  <CodeBlockTab value="yarn">
    ```bash
    yarn add ai
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>

  <CodeBlockTab value="bun">
    ```bash
    bun add ai
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>
</CodeBlockTabs>

If you want [durable execution](/docs/concepts#workflow-for-durability-opt-in) via Vercel Workflow, also install `workflow`:

<CodeBlockTabs defaultValue="npm">
  <CodeBlockTabsList>
    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="npm">
      npm
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>

    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="pnpm">
      pnpm
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>

    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="yarn">
      yarn
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>

    <CodeBlockTabsTrigger value="bun">
      bun
    </CodeBlockTabsTrigger>
  </CodeBlockTabsList>

  <CodeBlockTab value="npm">
    ```bash
    npm i workflow
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>

  <CodeBlockTab value="pnpm">
    ```bash
    pnpm add workflow
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>

  <CodeBlockTab value="yarn">
    ```bash
    yarn add workflow
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>

  <CodeBlockTab value="bun">
    ```bash
    bun add workflow
    ```
  </CodeBlockTab>
</CodeBlockTabs>
