Is Streaming Support Available for the Assistant API?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I'm building a web app using the Assistants API and have hit a snag: the lack of streaming is seriously affecting my UI performance. I've been considering switching to another solution until streaming becomes available, so I'm wondering if anyone knows when streaming support might be expected.
I've also looked into the documentation for streaming support but haven't found clear guidance yet. Any insight or updates on this would be greatly appreciated.

Based on our current documentation, streaming is already supported for the Assistants API. Our implementation uses the Server-sent events standard, which means you can receive partial results in real time—helpful for improving UI responsiveness.
If you’re having trouble integrating streaming into your web app, consider the following:
- Official Libraries: Both the Node and Python libraries include helpers to parse these streaming events, which can simplify your implementation.
- Documentation Examples: There are code snippets available in our docs that demonstrate how to set up and handle streaming responses.
So rather than waiting for streaming to be enabled, you might want to review the available examples to see how to integrate streaming in your app. If you run into specific issues during implementation, feel free to share details so that we can help troubleshoot further.
