# Streaming

> Receive model output incrementally

Add `"stream": true` to supported JSON requests. Chat Completions and Responses generally return Server-Sent Events. Read each `data:` record and handle the protocol's terminal event.

```json theme={null}
{"model":"your-model","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}],"stream":true}
```

A disconnected request may still incur usage. Apply exponential backoff and do not blindly replay non-idempotent requests.
