Set "stream": true and the server pushes content in chunks via SSE:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="...", base_url="https://api.novaapis.com/v1")

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a joke"}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")
