Why it matters

Batch processing patterns different from interactive. Understanding enables efficient pipelines.

How it works end to end

Rate limiting: respect model API limits with backoff.

Cost tracking: per-request cost accumulates.

Error handling: some requests may fail; continue batch.

Progress reporting: track partial completion.
