* When enabled, streaming mode allows responses to be delivered progressively in real time.
* This mode is particularly useful for lengthy responses or when a fast interaction is required.

#### **Full-Response Mode**

* Full-response mode sends the complete response at once after processing is finished.
* This mode is useful for responses where accuracy and completeness are prioritized over speed.

You can toggle between these modes based on the requirements of your conversation.

### **Features of the Chat Interface**
