--- title: OpenAIStream description: Learn to use OpenAIStream helper function in your application. --- # `OpenAIStream` OpenAIStream has been removed in AI SDK 4.0 OpenAIStream is part of the legacy OpenAI integration. It is not compatible with the AI SDK 3.1 functions. It is recommended to use the [AI SDK OpenAI Provider](/providers/ai-sdk-providers/openai) instead. Transforms the response from OpenAI's language models into a ReadableStream. Note: Prior to v4, the official OpenAI API SDK does not support the Edge Runtime and only works in serverless environments. The openai-edge package is based on fetch instead of axios (and thus works in the Edge Runtime) so we recommend using openai v4+ or openai-edge. ## Import ### React ## API Signature ### Parameters Promise', description: 'An optional function that is called at the start of the stream processing.', }, { name: 'onCompletion', type: '(completion: string) => Promise', description: "An optional function that is called for every completion.
