你有一份文档和关于它的 N 个问题。你可以发送一个包含全部 N 个问题的请求,也可以发送 N 个每次只含一个问题的请求。用 TypeSafe 时,两种方式得到的答案完全相同:每个问题都独立地对照文档评分,因此它的答案不依赖于请求中还有什么其他内容。
为验证这一点,本实战指南以两种方式——一个请求包含全部 N 个问题,以及每个请求一个问题——把每个问题各问若干次,并比较运行之间的标准差:一个答案在相邻两次重复之间会移动多远。一个问题无论带有什么噪声,在两种批处理策略下都同样存在;批处理不会增加噪声。无论哪种方式,大多数答案在全部 5 次重复中都完全一致——每次调用都是同一个值,标准差恰为 0.0。
成本和速度确实会变。文档占据了每个请求的绝大部分。N 次单问题调用要为它付 N 次费用、经历 N 个往返;批量调用只付一次。文档越大,这项节省就越接近整整 N 倍。
这里的案例是一份监管简报。文档是关于 GDPR 的 Wikipedia 条目(~54,000 字符,属于文档占主导的工作负载——文档占每个请求的绝大部分),合规团队要检查 13 项内容:8 个 Noul 问题、2 个 Choice 问题和 3 个 Score 问题。

两种方式各问 5 次
ask() 连同文档发送问题的任意子集,并把每个答案归约为它被跟踪的那一个数字。每次调用中的文档在字节层面完全相同。
两种批处理策略各运行 RUNS = 5 次,每种策略下每个问题得到 5 个答案,足以比较均值(两种方式一致吗?)和标准差(批处理会增加噪声吗?)。调用被缓存到 json_cache.json,该文件随本实战指南一起发布,因此重新渲染不花费任何费用;删除它即可重新实跑。

批处理不会改变答案
每个问题对应:它的跟踪数字在两种批处理策略下各 5 次运行的均值和标准差。如果批处理改变了答案,批量列就会与单次列不同。均值偏移是偏差,标准差变大是噪声。

按问题类型阅读该表:
- Choice、Score 以及八个 Noul 中的六个在 5 次重复中返回完全相同的结果:两种批处理策略下标准差都恰为 0.0,每次批量调用和单次调用都返回同一个数。一次包含 N 个问题的调用给出的答案与 N 次每次一个问题的调用相同。
breach_72h和criminal_penalties带有少量运行之间的采样噪声,两种批处理策略下噪声大小相同,均值的一致性也在该噪声范围之内。噪声是问题自身的属性,而不是批处理方式的属性:批处理既不移动答案,也不增加方差。
无论哪种方式,都不存在批处理效应:没有任何问题的答案依赖于与其共享请求的另外 12 个问题。
唯一的差别:成本和速度
答案相同,账单不同。这篇 ~54,000 字符的文章占据了每个请求的绝大部分,因此:
- 成本:13 次单问题调用要重发 13 次文章;批量调用只发送一次。无论你怎样发起这些调用,这项节省都成立。
- 速度:该数字是 13 次单次调用延迟的总和,因此假设它们一个接一个地运行。并发发起这些调用会缩小差距,但 13 倍的 token 成本保持不变。
token 数和延迟随答案一起缓存;成本在其后套用,二者都是在 5 次运行上取的平均值。
