GPT-6 Astra (batch)
GPT-6 Astra · Batch tier (Batch)
Asynchronous batch tier: discounted offline batch requests with high throughput and relaxed latency — ideal for large-scale non-real-time workloads.
Best for: Large-scale offline inference, cost-sensitive batch jobs, backfills
This page covers the GPT-6 Astra Batch tier, sharing the underlying model capability with its real-time standard tier; the main difference is in billing mode and invocation method. See the GPT-6 Astra standard real-time tier.
