Your nightly AI job, for less, with one line changed
Enriching a catalog, extracting fields from documents, summarising yesterday’s tickets: work that runs on a schedule and that nobody waits on. Point the OpenAI client you already use at Otium, send the whole backlog with a deadline, and pay a price set for work that can wait.
Sound familiar?
-
The bill grows with the catalog
Every item pays a price set for someone waiting on a chat reply, though the job runs at 2 AM and nobody reads the output until morning.
-
A prompt change means paying again
Re-running a step over everything after a tweak costs as much as the first run, so the tweaks wait.
-
You built an orchestrator by accident
The cron job grew a queue, retries, polling and a folder of result files that only one person understands.
What changes on Otium
One line to switch
The same SDK and the same requests, with a different base URL. Batch files you send OpenAI work as they are.
Moving from OpenAI’s batch API →Two prices per size, repeated input free
Choose a deadline: within a day, or within a week for less. The instructions and examples every item repeats cost nothing once cached.
The prices →The whole pipeline as one document
Send every step together under one deadline. Otium runs them in order, checks each step’s output and prices the job before it starts.
How workflows run →Output your code can parse
Ask for JSON that fits a schema, and an answer that does not fit is tried again rather than handed to your code.
Reliable structured output →
What your work would cost
That is $1,461 a year against gpt-6-luna’s regular price.
Assumes 2 input tokens per 1 output token, as in the costed job above. Repeated input is priced as each side bills it: free here, a tenth of the input price there, with their charge for writing the cache left out.
Questions people ask first
- Is the quality good enough for my task?
- Test it on your own items before you move anything: the demo model is free, and a size is chosen for the task, not for a leaderboard.
- What if I need results sooner?
- Standard finishes within a day. For work a person is waiting on, Otium is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so.
- What happens to my data?
- Nothing is used for training, each account’s data is locked with its own key, and inputs and results are deleted 30 days after the job finishes.
- What does it cost to try?
- An account and the demo model are free. Add credit when you send real work; you pay for what runs, at the prices on the pricing page.
