+        .. dropdown:: Batch API for cost savings
+
+            .. versionadded:: 0.3.7
+
+            OpenAI's Batch API provides **50% cost savings** for non-real-time workloads by
+            processing requests asynchronously. This is ideal for tasks like data processing,
+            content generation, or evaluation that don't require immediate responses.
+
+            **Cost vs Latency Tradeoff:**
+
+            - **Standard API**: Immediate results, full pricing
+            - **Batch API**: 50% cost savings, asynchronous processing (results available within 24 hours)
+
+            **Method 1: Direct batch management**
+
+            Use ``batch_create()`` and ``batch_retrieve()`` for full control over batch lifecycle:
+
+            .. code-block:: python
+
+                from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+                from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
+
+                llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
+
+                # Prepare multiple message sequences for batch processing
+                messages_list = [
+                    [HumanMessage(content="Translate 'hello' to French")],
+                    [HumanMessage(content="Translate 'goodbye' to Spanish")],
+                    [HumanMessage(content="What is the capital of Italy?")],
+                ]
+
+                # Create batch job (returns immediately with batch ID)
+                batch_id = llm.batch_create(
+                    messages_list=messages_list,
+                    description="Translation and geography batch",
+                    metadata={"project": "multilingual_qa", "user": "analyst_1"},
+                )
+                print(f"Batch created: {batch_id}")
+
+                # Later, retrieve results (polls until completion)
+                results = llm.batch_retrieve(
+                    batch_id=batch_id,
+                    poll_interval=60.0,  # Check every minute
+                    timeout=3600.0,  # 1 hour timeout
+                )
+
+                # Process results
+                for i, result in enumerate(results):
+                    response = result.generations[0].message.content
+                    print(f"Response {i + 1}: {response}")
+
+            **Method 2: Enhanced batch() method**
+
+            Use the familiar ``batch()`` method with ``use_batch_api=True`` for seamless integration:
+
+            .. code-block:: python
+
+                # Standard batch processing (immediate, full cost)
+                inputs = [
+                    [HumanMessage(content="What is 2+2?")],
+                    [HumanMessage(content="What is 3+3?")],
+                ]
+                standard_results = llm.batch(inputs)  # Default: use_batch_api=False
+
+                # Batch API processing (50% cost savings, polling)
+                batch_results = llm.batch(
+                    inputs,
+                    use_batch_api=True,  # Enable cost savings
+                    poll_interval=30.0,  # Poll every 30 seconds
+                    timeout=1800.0,  # 30 minute timeout
+                )
+
+            **Batch creation with custom parameters:**
+
+            .. code-block:: python
+
+                # Create batch with specific model parameters
+                batch_id = llm.batch_create(
+                    messages_list=messages_list,
+                    description="Creative writing batch",
+                    metadata={"task_type": "content_generation"},
+                    temperature=0.8,  # Higher creativity
+                    max_tokens=200,  # Longer responses
+                    top_p=0.9,  # Nucleus sampling
+                )
+
+            **Error handling and monitoring:**
+
+            .. code-block:: python
+
+                from langchain_openai.chat_models.batch import BatchError
+
+                try:
+                    batch_id = llm.batch_create(messages_list)
+                    results = llm.batch_retrieve(batch_id, timeout=600.0)
+                except BatchError as e:
+                    print(f"Batch processing failed: {e}")
+                    # Handle batch failure (retry, fallback to standard API, etc.)
+
+            **Best practices:**
+
+            - Use batch API for **non-urgent tasks** where 50% cost savings justify longer wait times
+            - Set appropriate **timeouts** based on batch size (larger batches take longer)
+            - Include **descriptive metadata** for tracking and debugging batch jobs
+            - Consider **fallback strategies** for time-sensitive applications
+            - Monitor batch status for **long-running jobs** to detect failures early
+
+            **When to use Batch API:**
+
+            ✅ **Good for:**
+            - Data processing and analysis
+            - Content generation at scale
+            - Model evaluation and testing
+            - Batch translation or summarization
+            - Non-interactive applications
+
+            ❌ **Not suitable for:**
+            - Real-time chat applications
+            - Interactive user interfaces
+            - Time-critical decision making
+            - Applications requiring immediate responses
