[ AI ][ CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT ][ NOUN ]
Feeding a model its context incrementally as it becomes available rather than assembling the whole context up front, distinct from context compression by changing when context arrives, not how much of it there is.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Switched to context streaming and the first response started coming back before the rest of the context even finished loading."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'streaming' from data-pipeline language, applied to context delivery once teams needed a model to start working before the full context was ready.
