Jobs allow you to run many AI tasks in parallel using batch processing. Read the introduction for a lexicon on jobs, tasks, and executions.

​
Quickstart

It is required to have npm (TypeScript) or uv (Python) installed to use the following command.
You can quickly initialize a new job from scratch by using the CLI command bl new job. 
bl new job
This will create a pre-scaffolded local directory where your entire code can be added. In the generated folder, you’ll find a boilerplate job with multiple steps in the entrypoint file src/index.ts / src/main.py. The template used to generate the boilerplate job is available in Blaxel’s public GitHub repository (TypeScript / Python). Start the job locally: 
# Run the job with a sample batch file
bl run job <<JOB-NAME>> --local --file batches/sample-batch.json

# Or directly with --data argument
bl run job <<JOB-NAME>> --local --data '{"tasks": [{"name": "John"}]}'

# Or without blaxel CLI
pnpm start --name John
