That is super cool. Sorry to be nitpicky but would really like to know your mental model: I didn’t understand from the blog why user waiting for a functional UI is a problem ? isn’t the partial streamed UI non-functional ?

I can see the value in early user verification and maybe interrupting the LLM to not proceed on an invalid path but I guess this is customer facing so not as valuable.

"In interactive assistants, that latency makes or breaks the experience." Why ? Because user might just jump off ?

Maybe I am a bit overdramatic ;) For me this is mostly about user experience. If the agent creates a complex mini app, the user might have to wait 30 seconds. That's 30 seconds without feedback. It's way nicer to already see information appearing - especially if that information is helpful. Also the UI can be functional already, even if it's not 100% complete!

No that makes sense. Waiting for feedback might lead to churn. Pretty cool idea.
