description: '.txt (dottxt) is the structured-generation company behind the open-source Outlines library (65M+ downloads).
  Its hosted platform, the dottxt API at api.dottxt.ai, is an OpenAI-compatible pay-per-token API whose defining contract
  is schema enforcement: a JSON Schema passed in response_format is compiled and enforced by constrained decoding, so model
  outputs are guaranteed valid — including field-by-field RFC 6902 JSON Patch streaming, Open Responses support, embeddings,
  and JSONL batch processing. Founded by the Outlines maintainers and backed by Seedcamp; inference is operated with launch
  partner Doubleword.'

  description: 'Process large volumes of requests asynchronously.


    Batch processing is ideal when you:

    - Have many requests that don''t need immediate responses

    - Want to process data in bulk (e.g., embeddings for a document corpus)

    - Are running offline evaluations or data pipelines


    Choose your completion window: 1 hour or 24 hours. You can track progress, cancel in-flight batches, and retry failed
    requests.
