Batch processing
50% off if you can wait
The Anthropic Batch API lets you submit up to 10,000 requests at once for a 50% discount per token. Results are returned within 24 hours. Perfect for workloads that don't need real-time responses.
Good batch use cases
- Classifying or tagging large datasets
- Generating product descriptions for a catalog
- Nightly summarization jobs
- Bulk content moderation
operator note
If you have any async workload running more than ~50 requests at a time, the Batch API should be your default. The 50% discount adds up fast at scale.
