How to disable stream of answer and show at once? (faster full response)

[evandrocoan]

I have been using librechat with open API key for gpt 4.0 instead chatgpt website. If I am not confusing things, I think that by API I can receive the answer at once instead of waiting for it while it is streamed. Is it true? Or even if I disable the stream: true option on the API, the full answer would still take the "usual" time to complete and it would take the same time as if the stream: true was enabled to get the full answer?

I believe this is an issue with OPENAI. They return results in a streaming manner. So just change options on your on server will not change anything

No. It would take about the same time (if non-stream is faster, it would only be by the milliseconds due to the stream processing) and you would experience a "delay" before the full generation is completed.

In almost all cases, streaming is preferred because of the improved experience (getting results in real-time vs. waiting like it's 1999).
