为什么需要流式输出
LLM 生成完整回答可能需要 5-15 秒。用户盯着空白屏幕等待体验极差。流式输出让用户像看打字机一样实时看到生成内容,首 token 延迟降到 200-500ms,体感速度提升 10 倍。
SSE vs WebSocket 对比
| 维度 | SSE (Server-Sent Events) | WebSocket |
|---|---|---|
| 协议 | HTTP/1.1 或 HTTP/2 | 独立协议(ws://) |
| 方向 | 服务器到客户端(单向) | 双向 |
| 自动重连 | 浏览器内置 | 需手动实现 |
| 代理兼容性 | 好(就是HTTP) | 差(需特殊配置) |
| 适合场景 | LLM 流式输出(推荐) | 实时对话/多Agent通信 |
| 实现复杂度 | 低 | 中 |
结论:LLM 流式输出首选 SSE,需要双向通信才用 WebSocket。
SSE 后端实现(FastAPI)
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse
import httpx, json, asyncio
app = FastAPI()
LLM_API_URL = "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions"
@app.post("/api/chat/stream")
async def chat_stream(request: Request):
body = await request.json()
async def event_generator():
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {body['api_key']}",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
payload = {
"model": body["model"],
"messages": body["messages"],
"stream": True,
"max_tokens": 4096
}
try:
async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=120) as client:
async with client.stream("POST", LLM_API_URL,
headers=headers, json=payload) as resp:
async for line in resp.aiter_lines():
if not line.startswith("data: "):
continue
data = line[6:]
if data.strip() == "[DONE]":
yield "data: " + json.dumps({"type": "done"}) + "\n\n"
break
chunk = json.loads(data)
delta = chunk["choices"][0]["delta"]
if "content" in delta:
token = delta["content"]
yield "data: " + json.dumps({"type": "token", "content": token}) + "\n\n"
except httpx.ReadTimeout:
yield "data: " + json.dumps({"type": "error", "msg": "LLM timeout"}) + "\n\n"
except Exception as e:
yield "data: " + json.dumps({"type": "error", "msg": str(e)}) + "\n\n"
return StreamingResponse(
event_generator(),
media_type="text/event-stream",
headers={"Cache-Control": "no-cache", "X-Accel-Buffering": "no", "Connection": "keep-alive"}
)
SSE 前端实现
class SSEClient {
constructor(url) { this.url = url; this.controller = null; }
async stream(messages, onToken, onDone, onError) {
this.controller = new AbortController();
try {
const resp = await fetch(this.url, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ messages }),
signal: this.controller.signal
});
const reader = resp.body.getReader();
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
let buffer = '';
while (true) {
const { done, value } = await reader.read();
if (done) break;
buffer += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
const lines = buffer.split('\n');
buffer = lines.pop();
for (const line of lines) {
if (!line.startsWith('data: ')) continue;
const data = JSON.parse(line.slice(6));
if (data.type === 'token') onToken(data.content);
else if (data.type === 'done') onDone();
else if (data.type === 'error') onError(data.msg);
}
}
} catch (e) {
if (e.name !== 'AbortError') onError(e.message);
}
}
abort() { this.controller?.abort(); }
}
// 使用
const client = new SSEClient('/api/chat/stream');
let fullText = '';
await client.stream(
[{ role: 'user', content: '解释 RAG 架构' }],
(token) => { fullText += token; renderMarkdown(fullText); },
() => console.log('完成'),
(err) => console.error('错误:', err)
);
WebSocket 方案
需要双向通信(用户中途打断、实时修正)时使用:
from fastapi import WebSocket, WebSocketDisconnect
@app.websocket("/ws/chat")
async def ws_chat(ws: WebSocket):
await ws.accept()
try:
while True:
msg = await ws.receive_json()
if msg.get("action") == "abort":
await ws.send_json({"type": "aborted"})
continue
async for token in call_llm_stream(msg["messages"]):
await ws.send_json({"type": "token", "content": token})
await ws.send_json({"type": "done"})
except WebSocketDisconnect:
print("Client disconnected")
断线重连策略
class ReconnectingSSE {
constructor(url, opts = {}) {
this.url = url;
this.maxRetries = opts.maxRetries || 3;
this.retryDelay = opts.retryDelay || 1000;
this.retries = 0;
}
async connect(messages) {
while (this.retries < this.maxRetries) {
try {
await this.sseStream(messages);
this.retries = 0;
return;
} catch (e) {
this.retries++;
const delay = this.retryDelay * Math.pow(2, this.retries);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
}
}
throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}
}
实战避坑
- Nginx 配置:必须设置
proxy_buffering off; proxy_cache off;,否则 SSE 会被缓冲导致延迟 - 心跳保活:每 30 秒发一个注释行防止代理超时断连
- Markdown 渲染:流式输出时 Markdown 不完整会闪烁,用 marked.js 增量解析或等段落结束再渲染
- Token 边界:流式输出可能在 UTF-8 字符中间断开,前端需处理不完整字符拼接—
