[cost\_intel] Processing large document corpora via real-time API calls for non-latency-sensitive workloads

Use batch APIs \(e.g., OpenAI Batch, Anthropic Message Batches\) for asynchronous workloads to get 50% cost reduction.

Journey Context:
Real-time APIs charge a premium for immediate compute. If you are processing logs, evaluating datasets, or bulk-classifying documents, latency doesn't matter. Batch APIs queue requests and process them within 24 hours, offering a 50% discount. This effectively doubles your budget for fine-tuning or large-scale evaluation.
