20+ practice questions focused on LLM Fundamentals — one of the most tested topics on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI Professional 1Z0-1127-25 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start LLM Fundamentals PracticeWhich of the following best describes the difference between an encoder-only model (e.g., BERT) and a decoder-only model (e.g., GPT)?
Explanation: Encoder-only models like BERT employ bidirectional attention, allowing each token to attend to all other tokens in both directions, which is ideal for tasks requiring full context understanding such as classification or named entity recognition (NER). In contrast, decoder-only models like GPT use causal (masked) attention, where each token can only attend to previous tokens, making them suitable for autoregressive text generation.
A practitioner wants to evaluate an LLM-generated summary against a human-written reference using a metric that focuses on recall of key information. Which metric is most appropriate?
Explanation: ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) is the most appropriate metric because it specifically measures recall of key information by comparing n-gram overlap between the generated summary and a reference summary. This aligns directly with the practitioner's goal of evaluating how well the LLM-generated summary captures the essential content from the human-written reference.
What is the main advantage of using Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) over word-level tokenization?
Explanation: Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) is a subword tokenization algorithm that iteratively merges the most frequent pairs of bytes or characters into new tokens. Its main advantage over word-level tokenization is that it can represent any word, including rare or unseen words, as a sequence of subword tokens, thereby eliminating the out-of-vocabulary (OOV) problem. This allows models like GPT and BERT to handle arbitrary input without requiring a fixed word vocabulary.
An OCI user notices that their Llama 3 model generates the same output sequence regardless of the input prompt when using default generation parameters. Which setting is most likely causing this lack of diversity?
Explanation: Greedy decoding, which is equivalent to setting temperature=0, always selects the token with the highest probability at each step. This deterministic behavior causes the model to produce the exact same output sequence for any input prompt, as there is no randomness or variation in token selection. The lack of diversity is a direct consequence of eliminating all stochasticity from the generation process.
A developer is building a code generation assistant and wants to minimize the number of API calls to the OCI Generative AI service. Which tokenization approach results in the lowest token count for a given code snippet?
Explanation: BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) tokenizers trained specifically on code corpora learn subword units that align closely with programming language syntax (e.g., common keywords, operators, and variable patterns), resulting in fewer tokens for a given code snippet compared to general-purpose tokenizers. This reduces API calls by encoding more semantic meaning per token, directly minimizing token count.
