Asynchronous Inference

Asynchronous inference is a fire-and-forget request model where the client submits a job, receives an immediate acknowledgment, and retrieves the result later via a webhook. It is suited for throughput-sensitive, latency-insensitive workloads like bulk document embedding or corpus transcription. Async jobs have much longer time limits than synchronous requests and require robust server-side queuing.
