Developer Scales LLM Scoring Pipeline to 10,000 Daily Jobs Using Batching and Function Calling

A developer details how they scaled an LLM scoring pipeline from processing one job listing daily to over 10,000. The initial approach using individual GPT-4 calls proved too slow and costly at scale. By implementing batch processing and leveraging GPT-4's function calling with a strict JSON schema, the pipeline now returns deterministic and parseable results, significantly improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates practical techniques for optimizing LLM inference costs and performance at scale.

    Scaling an LLM Scoring Pipeline From One Job to 10,000 a Day

    <p>The first time the pipeline ran against a heavy batch of listings, my MongoDB Atlas cluster nearly buckled. CPU spiked, the API queue backed up, and the OpenAI costs climbed faster than I expected. I had seen tutorials that show processing one listing, calling GPT-4, waiting f…
