Batches

With Portkey, you can perform Azure OpenAI Batch Inference operations. This is the most efficient way to

Test your data with different foundation models
Perform A/B testing with different foundation models
Perform batch inference with different foundation models

Portkey supports two modes on Azure OpenAI:

Provider Batch API (cheapest, completion_window: 24h, 48h, etc.)
Portkey Batch API (fast, provider-agnostic, completion_window: immediate)
