 We provide support for streaming responses using Server-Sent Events (SSE).
 
-To enable SSE streaming, you must:
-
-1. Ask the server to stream by setting `x_stream_response="true"` (header), and
-2. Tell the client to parse an SSE stream by setting `stream_response=True`.
+To enable SSE streaming, set `stream_response=True`. The SDK sends the streaming request and parses the SSE response as `StreamEvent`s.
