The huggingface pipeline in langchain (used for locally hosted models)
does not support batching. If you send in a batch of prompts, it just
processes them serially using the base implementation of _generate:

This PR adds support for batching in this pipeline, so that GPUs can be
fully saturated. I updated the accompanying notebook to show GPU batch
inference.
