The Astra Assistants API Now Supports Streaming: Because Who Wants to Wait?

OpenAI has added streaming support to its Assistants API, improving user engagement and providing reassurance that the system is actively working on delivering results. This feature allows for real-time responses, especially for lengthy answers. The Astra Assistants now supports this functionality in both managed service and open source codebase. Streaming runs provide a more user-friendly approach compared to the previous polling-based method. With streaming support, users can create more engaging and effective retrieval-augmented generation applications.
