" summary

Announces an open-source API spec and JavaScript SDK that standardizes client consumption of AI backends, published as @microsoft/ai-chat-protocol on NPM and GitHub. Claims streaming responses, HTTP lifecycle, logging, and tracing work out of the box if the middle tier implements the AI Chat Protocol spec. Demo uses a React frontend + .NET middle tier with Semantic Kernel and Azure OpenAI, uses getStreamedCompletions and streams using newline-delimited JSON for incremental UI updates.
