Batch Document Processing with the DeepSeek API
One-off chats don’t scale. A small batch job — CSV in, summaries out — handles recurring document work with auditability.
Pipeline shape
Read rows → build prompt from template → call API with rate limits → write results + status column. Store raw responses for debugging.
Retries and failures
Retry transient errors with backoff. Flag rows that fail twice for manual review instead of silent drop.
Human spot check
Sample 5–10% of outputs each run. Track edit distance over time; rising edits mean your prompt or source data drifted.
