AI Service Rate Limiting

Overview

Token bucket and sliding window rate limiting for AI

Implementation

python
from openai import OpenAI
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Optional
import json
client = OpenAI()
class Handler:
    """Handles ai service rate limiting."""
    
    def __init__(self, model="gpt-4o-mini"):
        self.client = OpenAI()
        self.model = model
        self.system = f"""You are an AI expert in deployment.
Topic: AI Service Rate Limiting
Be accurate, practical, and helpful."""
    
    def run(self, query: str) -> str:
        r = self.client.chat.completions.create(
            model=self.model,
            messages=[
                {"role":"system","content":self.system},
                {"role":"user","content":query}
            ],
            temperature=0.3,
            max_tokens=1500
        )
        return r.choices[0].message.content
h = Handler()
print(h.run("How do I implement ai service rate limiting?"))

Key Points

deployment is fundamental to this approach

Always validate inputs before processing

Implement proper error handling and retries

Monitor costs and performance in production

Test with diverse inputs including edge cases

Example Usage

python
Production example
handler = Handler(model="gpt-4o")  # Use better model for production
Basic use
result = handler.run("Your question here")
Batch processing
queries = ["Q1", "Q2", "Q3"]
results = [handler.run(q) for q in queries]

Best Practices

Input validation and sanitization

Retry with exponential backoff

Response caching for common queries

Comprehensive logging

Cost monitoring and alerts
