.. 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
