Chat completions are AI-generated responses used to generate text. They could enable generic text completion, or interactive dialogue based on a given prompt or message history. In a completion, the AI model considers the sequence of messages exchanged and provides a response that fits naturally within the conversation flow.

### Output
Arrr, trainin’ a parrot be quite the adventure, savvy? Here be some tips fer ye:
  1. Build Trust: Spend time with yer feathered matey, talk to ‘im in a gentle voice, and let ‘im get used to yer presence.
  2. Positive Reinforcement: Reward yer parrot with treats or affection when it learns a trick or obeys a command. Parrots, like all creatures, respond well to praise!

  6. Fun and Play: Incorporate games into yer training to keep it interestin’. A happy parrot be a learnin’ parrot!
Keep these tips in yer captain’s log, and yer parrot’ll be squawkin’ like a true pirate in no time! Arrr!

## Streaming Completions

Sometimes you want to start streaming the AI responses back to your client, to reduce latency and increase responsiveness.  You can accomplish that by using the Streaming API
