Serving
Streaming responses send generated tokens to the caller as they become available, commonly through server-sent events. Streaming changes when users see progress without reducing the model's total generation work.
Early delivery improves perceived responsiveness and exposes pauses between later tokens. Buffering in application servers, proxies, or clients can erase that benefit even when generation is timely.
The server flushes framed token events, handles backpressure, and stops work after confirmed disconnects. Teams measure from the caller boundary so transport buffering remains visible.
