Streaming with Different Providers

# OpenAI streaming
praisonai-ts llm run "Write a poem" --model openai/gpt-4o-mini --stream

# Anthropic streaming
praisonai-ts llm run "Write a poem" --model anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-latest --stream

Troubleshooting

Provider Not Found

praisonai-ts llm validate <provider>

Check if the provider package is installed:

npm install @ai-sdk/<provider>

Authentication Error

Ensure your API key is set:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
praisonai-ts llm test openai

Timeout Issues

Increase timeout for slow requests:

praisonai-ts llm run "Complex task" --timeout 120000
