The Flyte OpenAI batch API agent can be used to create a batch and poll the status of the OpenAI batch in real-time while remaining dormant. This means there's no need to incur costs when there's no work to be done. OpenAI's 50% model discount, as explained here, further enhances cost savings.

The agent seamlessly integrates with end-to-end Flyte workflows, making it especially useful when downstream tasks depend on batch processing jobs.
