  title: CentML Chat Completions Streaming (HTTP + SSE)
  version: '1.0.0'
  description: |
    AsyncAPI 2.6 description of CentML's **chat completion streaming** surface.

    CentML does not publish a WebSocket API. The only asynchronous / event-style
    transport documented at https://docs.centml.ai/apps/serverless is **HTTP
    Server-Sent Events (SSE)** delivered over the same OpenAI-compatible REST
    endpoint (`POST /chat/completions`) when the request body sets
    `stream: true`. SSE is a one-way, server-to-client HTTP streaming channel;
    it is **not** WebSocket.

    Following the OpenAI streaming convention that CentML implements, tokens are
    sent as data-only server-sent events as they become available, with the
    stream terminated by a `data: [DONE]` message.

    This AsyncAPI document models only the streamed events emitted by CentML's
    SSE response. The request body itself (model, messages, tools, etc.) is
    modeled in the companion OpenAPI document at `openapi/centml-openapi.yml`.

      CentML's OpenAI-compatible serverless REST base. Chat completion streaming
      is delivered as HTTP Server-Sent Events over this base when `stream: true`
      is set on the JSON request body. AsyncAPI 2.6 does not define a dedicated
      SSE protocol identifier; `https` is used here and the SSE transport is
      documented in `info.x-transport-notes` and on each channel.

  /chat/completions:

      Chat completion SSE stream. The client opens this channel by issuing
      `POST /chat/completions` with `Content-Type: application/json`,
      `Accept: text/event-stream` (implied), and a JSON body containing
      `stream: true`. The server responds with `Content-Type: text/event-stream`
      and emits a sequence of `data:` lines, each carrying one JSON-serialized
      `chat.completion.chunk` object, followed by a final `data: [DONE]` line.

      description: |
        After `POST /chat/completions` is issued with `stream: true`, the server
        emits an ordered sequence of SSE `data:` events. Each `data:` line
        either carries a JSON-serialized `ChatCompletionChunk` or the literal
        sentinel `[DONE]` marking end of stream.
