+## Streaming Responses
+
+CrewAI supports streaming responses from LLMs, allowing your application to receive and process outputs in real-time as they're generated.
+
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="Basic Setup">
+    Enable streaming by setting the `stream` parameter to `True` when initializing your LLM:
+
+    ```python
+    from crewai import LLM
+
+    # Create an LLM with streaming enabled
+    llm = LLM(
+        model="openai/gpt-4o",
+        stream=True  # Enable streaming
+    )
+    ```
+
+    When streaming is enabled, responses are delivered in chunks as they're generated, creating a more responsive user experience.

-# Custom LLM Implementations
-
-CrewAI supports custom LLM implementations through the `LLM` base class. This allows you to create your own LLM implementations that don't rely on litellm's authentication mechanism.
-
-## Using Custom LLM Implementations
-
-To create a custom LLM implementation, you need to:
-
-1. Inherit from the `LLM` base class
-2. Implement the required methods:
-   - `call()`: The main method to call the LLM with messages
-   - `supports_function_calling()`: Whether the LLM supports function calling
-   - `supports_stop_words()`: Whether the LLM supports stop words
-   - `get_context_window_size()`: The context window size of the LLM
-
-## Using the Default LLM Implementation
-
-If you don't need a custom LLM implementation, you can use the default implementation provided by CrewAI:
-
-```python
-from crewai import LLM
-
-# Create a default LLM instance
-llm = LLM.create(model="gpt-4")
-
-# Or with more parameters
-llm = LLM.create(
-    model="gpt-4",
-    temperature=0.7,
-    max_tokens=1000,
-    api_key="your-api-key"
-)
-```
-
-## Example: Basic Custom LLM
-
-```python
-from crewai import LLM

-## Error Handling Best Practices
-
-When implementing custom LLMs, it's important to handle errors properly to ensure robustness and reliability. Here are some best practices:
-
-### 1. Implement Try-Except Blocks for API Calls
-
-Always wrap API calls in try-except blocks to handle different types of errors:
-
-```python
-def call(
-    self,
-    messages: Union[str, List[Dict[str, str]]],
-    tools: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
-    callbacks: Optional[List[Any]] = None,
-    available_functions: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
-) -> Union[str, Any]:
-    try:
-        # API call implementation
-        response = requests.post(
-            self.endpoint,
-            headers=self.headers,
-            json=self.prepare_payload(messages),
-            timeout=30  # Set a reasonable timeout
-        )
-        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an exception for HTTP errors
-        return response.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
-    except requests.Timeout:
-        raise TimeoutError("LLM request timed out")
-    except requests.RequestException as e:
-        raise RuntimeError(f"LLM request failed: {str(e)}")
-    except (KeyError, IndexError, ValueError) as e:
-        raise ValueError(f"Invalid response format: {str(e)}")
-```
-
-### 2. Implement Retry Logic for Transient Failures
-
-For transient failures like network issues or rate limiting, implement retry logic with exponential backoff:
-
-```python
-def call(
-    self,
-    messages: Union[str, List[Dict[str, str]]],
-    tools: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
-    callbacks: Optional[List[Any]] = None,
-    available_functions: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
-) -> Union[str, Any]:
-    import time
-    
-    max_retries = 3
-    retry_delay = 1  # seconds
-    
-    for attempt in range(max_retries):
-        try:
-            response = requests.post(
-                self.endpoint,
-                headers=self.headers,
-                json=self.prepare_payload(messages),
-                timeout=30
-            )
-            response.raise_for_status()
-            return response.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
-        except (requests.Timeout, requests.ConnectionError) as e:
-            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
-                time.sleep(retry_delay * (2 ** attempt))  # Exponential backoff
-                continue
-            raise TimeoutError(f"LLM request failed after {max_retries} attempts: {str(e)}")
-        except requests.RequestException as e:
-            raise RuntimeError(f"LLM request failed: {str(e)}")
-```
-
-### 3. Validate Input Parameters
-
-Always validate input parameters to prevent runtime errors:
-
-```python
-def __init__(self, api_key: str, endpoint: str):
-    super().__init__()
-    if not api_key or not isinstance(api_key, str):
-        raise ValueError("Invalid API key: must be a non-empty string")
-    if not endpoint or not isinstance(endpoint, str):
-        raise ValueError("Invalid endpoint URL: must be a non-empty string")
-    self.api_key = api_key
-    self.endpoint = endpoint
-```
-
-### 4. Handle Authentication Errors Gracefully
-
-Provide clear error messages for authentication failures:
-
-```python
-def call(
-    self,
-    messages: Union[str, List[Dict[str, str]]],
-    tools: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
-    callbacks: Optional[List[Any]] = None,
-    available_functions: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
-) -> Union[str, Any]:
-    try:
-        response = requests.post(self.endpoint, headers=self.headers, json=data)
-        if response.status_code == 401:
-            raise ValueError("Authentication failed: Invalid API key or token")
-        elif response.status_code == 403:
-            raise ValueError("Authorization failed: Insufficient permissions")
-        response.raise_for_status()
-        # Process response
-    except Exception as e:
-        # Handle error
-        raise
-```
-
-## Example: JWT-based Authentication
-
-For services that use JWT-based authentication instead of API keys, you can implement a custom LLM like this:
-
-```python
-from crewai import LLM, Agent, Task
-from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Union
-
-class JWTAuthLLM(LLM):
-    def __init__(self, jwt_token: str, endpoint: str):
-        super().__init__()  # Initialize the base class to set default attributes
-        if not jwt_token or not isinstance(jwt_token, str):
-            raise ValueError("Invalid JWT token: must be a non-empty string")
-        if not endpoint or not isinstance(endpoint, str):
-            raise ValueError("Invalid endpoint URL: must be a non-empty string")
-        self.jwt_token = jwt_token
-        self.endpoint = endpoint
-        self.stop = []  # You can customize stop words if needed
-        
-    def call(
-        self,
-        messages: Union[str, List[Dict[str, str]]],
-        tools: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
-        callbacks: Optional[List[Any]] = None,
-        available_functions: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
-    ) -> Union[str, Any]:

-## Troubleshooting
-
-Here are some common issues you might encounter when implementing custom LLMs and how to resolve them:
-
-### 1. Authentication Failures
-
-**Symptoms**: 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden errors
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Verify that your API key or JWT token is valid and not expired
-- Check that you're using the correct authentication header format
-- Ensure that your token has the necessary permissions
-
-### 2. Timeout Issues
-
-**Symptoms**: Requests taking too long or timing out
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Implement timeout handling as shown in the examples
-- Use retry logic with exponential backoff
-- Consider using a more reliable network connection
-
-### 3. Response Parsing Errors
-
-**Symptoms**: KeyError, IndexError, or ValueError when processing responses
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Validate the response format before accessing nested fields
-- Implement proper error handling for malformed responses
-- Check the API documentation for the expected response format
-
-### 4. Rate Limiting
-
-**Symptoms**: 429 Too Many Requests errors
-
-**Solutions**:
-- Implement rate limiting in your custom LLM
-- Add exponential backoff for retries
-- Consider using a token bucket algorithm for more precise rate control
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Logging
-
-Adding logging to your custom LLM can help with debugging and monitoring:
-
-```python
-import logging
-from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Union
-
-class LoggingLLM(BaseLLM):
-    def __init__(self, api_key: str, endpoint: str):
-        super().__init__()
-        self.api_key = api_key
-        self.endpoint = endpoint
-        self.logger = logging.getLogger("crewai.llm.custom")
-        
-    def call(
-        self,
-        messages: Union[str, List[Dict[str, str]]],
-        tools: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
-        callbacks: Optional[List[Any]] = None,
-        available_functions: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
-    ) -> Union[str, Any]:
-        self.logger.info(f"Calling LLM with {len(messages) if isinstance(messages, list) else 1} messages")
-        try:
-            # API call implementation
-            response = self._make_api_call(messages, tools)
-            self.logger.debug(f"LLM response received: {response[:100]}...")
-            return response
-        except Exception as e:
-            self.logger.error(f"LLM call failed: {str(e)}")
-            raise
-```
-
-### Rate Limiting
-
-Implementing rate limiting can help avoid overwhelming the LLM API:
-
-```python
-import time
-from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Union
-
-class RateLimitedLLM(BaseLLM):

-### Metrics Collection
-
-Collecting metrics can help you monitor your LLM usage:
-
-```python

-## Advanced Usage: Function Calling
-
-If your LLM supports function calling, you can implement the function calling logic in your custom LLM:
-
-```python
-import json
-from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Union
-
-def call(
-    self,
-    messages: Union[str, List[Dict[str, str]]],
-    tools: Optional[List[dict]] = None,
-    callbacks: Optional[List[Any]] = None,
-    available_functions: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
-) -> Union[str, Any]:
-    import requests
-    
-    try:
-        headers = {
-            "Authorization": f"Bearer {self.jwt_token}",
-            "Content-Type": "application/json"
-        }
-        
-        # Convert string message to proper format if needed
-        if isinstance(messages, str):
-            messages = [{"role": "user", "content": messages}]
-        
-        data = {
-            "messages": messages,
-            "tools": tools
-        }
-        
-        response = requests.post(
-            self.endpoint,
-            headers=headers,
-            json=data,
-            timeout=30
-        )
-        response.raise_for_status()
-        response_data = response.json()
-        
-        # Check if the LLM wants to call a function
-        if response_data["choices"][0]["message"].get("tool_calls"):
-            tool_calls = response_data["choices"][0]["message"]["tool_calls"]
-            
-            # Process each tool call
-            for tool_call in tool_calls:
-                function_name = tool_call["function"]["name"]
-                function_args = json.loads(tool_call["function"]["arguments"])
-                
-                if available_functions and function_name in available_functions:
-                    function_to_call = available_functions[function_name]
-                    function_response = function_to_call(**function_args)
-                    
-                    # Add the function response to the messages
-                    messages.append({
-                        "role": "tool",
-                        "tool_call_id": tool_call["id"],
-                        "name": function_name,
-                        "content": str(function_response)

-            return self.call(messages, tools, callbacks, available_functions)
-

-        return response_data["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
-    except requests.Timeout:
-        raise TimeoutError("LLM request timed out")
-    except requests.RequestException as e:

-## Using Your Custom LLM with CrewAI
-
-Once you've implemented your custom LLM, you can use it with CrewAI agents and crews:
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
-from typing import Dict, Any
-
-# Create your custom LLM instance
-jwt_llm = JWTAuthLLM(
-    jwt_token="your.jwt.token", 
-    endpoint="https://your-llm-endpoint.com/v1/chat/completions"
-)
-
-# Use it with an agent
-agent = Agent(
-    role="Research Assistant",
-    goal="Find information on a topic",
-    backstory="You are a research assistant tasked with finding information.",
-    llm=jwt_llm,
-)
-
-# Create a task for the agent
-task = Task(
-    description="Research the benefits of exercise",
-    agent=agent,
-    expected_output="A summary of the benefits of exercise",
-)
-
-# Execute the task
-result = agent.execute_task(task)
-print(result)
-
-# Or use it with a crew
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[agent],
-    tasks=[task],
-    manager_llm=jwt_llm,  # Use your custom LLM for the manager
-)
-
-# Run the crew
-result = crew.kickoff()
-print(result)
-```
-
-## Implementing Your Own Authentication Mechanism
-
-The `LLM` class allows you to implement any authentication mechanism you need, not just JWT or API keys. You can use:
-
-- OAuth tokens
-- Client certificates
-- Custom headers
-- Session-based authentication
-- Any other authentication method required by your LLM provider
-
-Simply implement the appropriate authentication logic in your custom LLM class.
-
-## Migrating from BaseLLM to LLM
-
-If you were previously using `BaseLLM`, you can simply replace it with `LLM`:
-
-```python
-# Old code
-from crewai import BaseLLM
-
-class CustomLLM(BaseLLM):
-    # ...
-
-# New code
-from crewai import LLM
-
-class CustomLLM(LLM):
-    # ...
-```
-
-The `BaseLLM` class is still available for backward compatibility but will be removed in a future release. It now inherits from `LLM` and emits a deprecation warning when instantiated.
