Benchmark info:

The batch predictions are simply that, 10,000 random samples are fed into each model to be predicted on all at once. This is usually the fastest method of executing a prediction for a lot of unrelated samples.

With the single predictions, we are predicting on the same samples as before, however we are using a loop and predicting on each sample one by one. This is usually how you will be executing predictions in production. You won't know future data, so this is a good way to benchmark inference times for both model formats.
