Overview
The process of constructing a JSONL-formatted input file containing multiple API requests for batch processing.
Description
Batch Input Preparation involves creating a JSON Lines (JSONL) file where each line is a self-contained JSON object representing a single API request. Each request includes a custom_id for tracking, the HTTP method, the API endpoint url, and the request body containing model and messages.
The JSONL format enables:
- Bulk processing: Hundreds or thousands of requests in a single batch job
- Request tracking: Each request has a unique custom_id for correlating results
- File size limits: Up to 100 MB per batch input file
Usage
Use this principle when you need to process many chat completion requests asynchronously. Prepare the JSONL file locally before uploading.
Theoretical Basis
# Abstract JSONL construction
import json
requests = []
for item in data:
requests.append({
"custom_id": f"request-{item.id}",
"method": "POST",
"url": "/v1/chat/completions",
"body": {"model": model, "messages": item.messages}
})
with open("batch_input.jsonl", "w") as f:
for req in requests:
f.write(json.dumps(req) + "\n")
