feat(xai): batch API support (#19525)
## Background xAI has a [Batch API](https://docs.x.ai/developers/advanced-api-usage/batch-api) for processing large numbers of requests asynchronously. AI SDK already supports its experimental text batch APIs in several providers, but `@ai-sdk/xai` did not implement them. ## Summary Added Batch API support to the xAI provider. - Exposes batch support through `xai(modelId)` and `xai.responses(modelId)`. - Prepares each request through the existing Responses API implementation. - Uploads requests as JSONL through the xAI Files API and starts a file-backed batch. ## End-to-End Verification Ran the xAI batch example against the live API with `grok-4.3`. The batch uploaded successfully, completed, and returned the expected results for both request IDs. ## Checklist - [x] All commits are signed (PRs with unsigned commits cannot be merged) - [x] Tests have been added / updated (for bug fixes / features) - [x] Documentation has been added / updated (for bug fixes / features) - [x] A _patch_ changeset for relevant packages has been added (for bug fixes / features - run `pnpm changeset` in the project root) - [x] I have reviewed this pull request (self-review) ## Future Work - Add fast-fail validation across batch providers for models that do not support batch processing.
