What the author said · editorial paraphrase
- Srinivas says a batch file can contain no more than 50,000 requests. That is a per-file request limit, not a verified throughput, token allowance or concurrency limit.
- According to his post, every request executes the full agent loop, with web_search and fetch_url available in batch mode. AISubHub has not tested that behavior.
- He illustrates the use case with enriching a spreadsheet of 50,000 companies using live web data overnight. This is an example, not a measured completion deadline or a guarantee of accuracy or data freshness.
AISubHub analysis
AISubHub’s interpretation is that this could provide a batch-processing route for large web-data enrichment jobs. Teams would still need to check output quality, actual charges and scheduling conditions before relying on it.
Limits and availability
This brief paraphrases one fully read CEO product post. The quoted developer post was not opened separately, and the linked documentation was not read. Pricing, batch discounts, supported models, per-request tool and token limits, concurrency, completion SLA, regions, account eligibility, quotas and retention terms remain unverified. AISubHub did not call the API, upload a file, create a job or test billing or performance.
