Documented steps

  1. Set `"stream": true` in the chat completions request body.
  2. The server returns server-sent events: lines of `data: {...}` where `choices[0].delta.content` holds each token chunk.
  3. With the OpenAI SDK set `stream=True` and iterate: `for chunk in resp: chunk.choices[0].delta.content`.
  4. A final `data: [DONE]` line terminates the stream.
