Introducing the Message Batches API

The new Message Batches API allows developers to process large volumes of queries asynchronously at a 50% discount compared to standard API calls. With support for Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, and Claude 3 Haiku on the Anthropic API, users can send batches of up to 10,000 queries per batch, with each batch processed within 24 hours. The Batches API offers enhanced throughput, scalability for big data tasks, and cost savings for large-scale data processing. Quora uses this API for summarization and highlight extraction, reducing complexity and freeing up time for their engineers to focus on other tasks.
