Streaming

Use streaming responses from OpenRouter’s Responses API.

Leverage the OpenRouter API for real-time response streaming across any model. This is used for low-latency chat user interface and dynamic agentic workflows.

Prerequisites

• Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openrouter import OpenRouterResponses

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenRouterResponses(id="openai/gpt-oss-20b", reasoning={"enabled": True}),
    markdown=True,
)

# Stream the response
agent.print_response("Write a short poem about the moon", stream=True)

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pass
