* Users can get results orders of magnitude earlier for extremely long queries.
* Seeing something in progress allows users to stop the generation if it's not going in the direction they expect.
* Perceived latency is lower when results are shown in the early stages.
* When used in conversational UIs, the experience feels more natural.
For example, a system can generate 100 tokens per second. If the system generates 1000 tokens, with the non-streaming setup, users need to wait 10 seconds to get results. On the other hand, with the streaming setup, users get initial results immediately, and although end-to-end latency will be the same, they can see half of the generation after five seconds. Below you can see an interactive demo that shows non-streaming vs streaming side-by-side. Click **generate** below.

One of the limitations of Server-Sent Events is that they limit how many concurrent requests can handle by the server. Instead of timing out when there are too many SSE connections, TGI returns a HTTP Error with an `overloaded` error type (`huggingface_hub` returns `OverloadedError`). This allows the client to manage the overloaded server (e.g. it could display a busy error to the user or it could retry with a new request). To configure the maximum number of concurrent requests, you can specify `--max_concurrent_requests`, allowing to handle backpressure.
