[cost\_intel] Using standard synchronous API endpoints for high-volume offline batch processing

Use Batch APIs \(e.g., OpenAI Batch API or Anthropic Message Batches\) for non-urgent workloads. Cuts costs by 50%.

Journey Context:
Real-time latency isn't needed for offline evals or dataset generation. Developers use standard endpoints and hit rate limits, requiring complex retry logic and maxing out billing. Batch APIs decouple throughput from latency, offering a 50% discount in exchange for a 24-hour turnaround, fundamentally changing the ROI of data generation pipelines.
