Definition
Text streaming is a feature where the output from an LLM is sent back to the user in chunks as it is generated, rather than waiting for the entire response to be completed. This improves perceived performance and user experience.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Demonstrated in the Streamlit UI for the Pantic AI agent, providing a more interactive and responsive user experience, although noted to have limitations with local models like Ollama.
