Streaming LLM responses to the browser in Go (Server-Sent Events)
The article discusses the implementation of streaming LLM responses to web browsers using Server-Sent Events (SSE) in Go. It highlights the advantages of SSE over WebSockets for this specific use case, emphasizing improved user experience by reducing wait times for responses. The tutorial provides code examples for setting up a streaming handler that delivers token-by-token responses from an LLM API.
- ▪Streaming LLM responses allows users to see the first word in under a second, improving user experience.
- ▪Server-Sent Events (SSE) is preferred over WebSockets for LLM streaming due to its unidirectional nature.
- ▪The tutorial includes code examples for implementing token-by-token streaming in Go using the Fiber framework.

On a 400-token answer at typical generation speeds, that's 4–8 seconds of staring at a spinner. With streaming, the user sees the first word in under a second and reads along as the model generates.
