22You are a machine learning engineer at a healthcare startup. Your team has developed a generative AI model that summarizes patient medical records. The model is deployed on Vertex AI Endpoints using a custom container. You have configured the endpoint with a single n1-standard-4 machine (4 vCPUs, 15 GB memory) without accelerators. The model uses a small transformer architecture. During load testing with 50 concurrent requests, you observe that the average latency is 8 seconds, which exceeds the requirement of 2 seconds. Additionally, some requests time out after 10 seconds. You suspect the CPU is the bottleneck. You also notice that the model inference code uses TensorFlow but is not optimized for inference. Which action should you take to reduce latency?
23You are a generative AI architect for a large e-commerce company. Your team has built a product description generator using Vertex AI's text-bison model. The model is accessed via the Vertex AI API from a web application. You have set the temperature to 0.5 and top_k to 40. The team reports that the generated descriptions are often too generic and lack creativity. They want the descriptions to be more diverse and engaging. You are also concerned about cost, as each API call is billed. Which change should you recommend to increase creativity while managing cost?

The agency's developers have limited experience with generative AI and want the fastest way to prototype and iterate on prompts. They are already using Google Cloud for other services. Which approach should they take to quickly develop and test prompts?
70An e-commerce company is using Vertex AI PaLM 2 for Text (via Model Garden) to generate product descriptions. They have an existing pipeline that calls the model with a prompt including product attributes. Recently, they migrated to the Gemini API. The team notices that the Gemini model sometimes outputs descriptions that are factually inconsistent with the input (e.g., wrong color or size). This was less frequent with PaLM 2. They have not changed the prompts. What is the most likely cause and solution?
71A multinational corporation is using Vertex AI to generate multilingual customer support responses. They have fine-tuned the Gemini model on support tickets in English and now want to extend to 10 additional languages. The fine-tuning dataset for new languages is small (1000 tickets each). During evaluation, the model performs well for common languages (Spanish, French) but poorly for languages like Finnish and Thai. The team needs to improve performance for low-resource languages. They have budget constraints and cannot collect more data quickly. Which approach should they take?
72A news organization is using Vertex AI Gemini to summarize articles. They observe that the summaries sometimes contain hallucinated facts—specifically, dates and statistics that are not in the original article. The team is using the default temperature and top_p settings. They want to reduce hallucinations without making summaries too repetitive or overly conservative. They also need to keep latency low. Which action should they take?
73A small business wants to use Vertex AI to analyze customer reviews and extract sentiment, product mentions, and overall themes. They have a small dataset of 500 reviews in a CSV file. The team is not experienced with machine learning and wants a pre-built solution that requires minimal coding. They want to start quickly and scale later. Which Google Cloud offering should they use?
74A research lab is using Vertex AI to generate high-resolution medical images (2560x1920) of cell structures using Imagen. They have fine-tuned the model on their own microscope images. The generated images are sharp but often contain repeating patterns (e.g., identical cell arrangements) that are not biologically plausible. The team suspects the model is overfitting to spatial patterns in the training data. They have already tried increasing the training dataset size and augmenting it with rotations and flips. What additional technique should they try within Vertex AI?
75A company needs to fine-tune a foundation model on Vertex AI for a custom text classification task with only 500 labeled examples. They want to minimize cost while achieving high accuracy. What is the MOST cost-effective approach?
76Which THREE capabilities are provided by Vertex AI Agent Builder? (Choose three.)
77Which command correctly updates the traffic split?
78A retail company has deployed a customer support chatbot using Vertex AI Agent Builder. The chatbot is configured with a knowledge base stored in BigQuery (user manuals) and Cloud Storage (product images). The agent uses a Gemini 1.5 Pro model for response generation. Users report that the chatbot frequently gives incorrect answers and sometimes does not reference the knowledge base at all. Logs show high latency (average response time > 10 seconds) and many responses are generic or hallucinated. The agent's grounding configuration currently uses the default settings. The development team is considering the following actions: A) Switch to a smaller model like Gemini 1.5 Flash to reduce latency. B) Increase the context window of the model to allow more knowledge base content. C) Enable Vertex AI Search for grounding and configure a search aggregation strategy that retrieves relevant documents from the knowledge base. D) Fine-tune the Gemini model with the company's historical chat logs to improve domain-specific responses. Which action should the team take FIRST to address the issues?
