Anthropic Batch API
The Batch API lets you queue up hundreds or thousands of Claude requests to run asynchronously instead of in real time. You submit them all at once, Anthropic processes them during off-peak windows, and you get results back within 24 hours at a flat 50% discount on input tokens and 25% on output tokens. This is built for workloads where speed doesn't matter but volume and cost do: generating customer research summaries in bulk, creating training datasets for product teams, scoring candidate submissions at scale, or analyzing weeks of customer chat logs. Product teams use it to iterate faster on AI-powered features without paying premium prices per request. The appeal is mathematical: if you're already running Claude at scale, switching batch work to the API cuts your bill in half and lets engineers who normally can't justify AI costs suddenly afford to experiment with it.
You move repetitive, non-urgent AI work off the expensive per-request pricing model and into a batch window, cutting costs by half while staying on the same Claude models you already trust.
