Preventing Flash of Incomplete Markdown when streaming AI responses

A new technique addresses the "Flash of Incomplete Markdown" (FOIM) issue in AI-generated streaming responses. By implementing a server-side state machine, developers can buffer and process markdown links before sending them to the client. This approach prevents incomplete markdown from appearing, reduces token usage, eliminates link hallucinations, and improves response speed. The method also enhances privacy by not transmitting full URLs to AI models. Overall, it offers a faster, better, and more cost-effective solution for displaying AI-generated content with links.
