Do I need WebSockets for an AI chat feature?

For streaming responses, server-sent events are often enough and simpler. WebSockets when the client also sends frequent messages or you need bidirectional state.

Backend

WebSockets

WebSockets for live progress, streaming model output and multiplayer or bot interactions.

How I use it

Dubbix streams processing status over WebSockets so users watch dubbing and transcription progress live. I also use them to stream LLM output token by token, which makes a slow model feel responsive.
