AIF-C01 Applications of Foundation Models Practice Question
A multinational corporation uses a foundation model via Amazon Bedrock to translate internal communication documents from English to multiple languages. They notice that the translations often miss company-specific jargon and acronyms, leading to confusion. The company has a glossary of approved translations for terms like 'Project Atlas' and 'Operation Synergy.' They want to improve translation accuracy quickly and with minimal effort. What approach should they take?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates may overestimate the effort required for prompt engineering or underestimate the speed and simplicity of in-context learning, leading them to choose fine-tuning or a different service when the most direct and minimal-effort solution is to augment the prompt with the glossary.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use prompt engineering to include the glossary in each translation request.
Prompt engineering allows the company to inject the glossary directly into the context window of the foundation model with each translation request. This approach requires no model retraining or infrastructure changes, enabling rapid improvement by simply appending the approved translations as instructions or few-shot examples. It is the quickest and least effortful method to enforce company-specific terminology without altering the underlying model.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use prompt engineering to include the glossary in each translation request.
Why this is correct
Including the glossary in the prompt directly informs the model of the correct translations.
- ✗
Use a larger foundation model that has better language understanding.
Why it's wrong here
Larger models may not know specific acronyms unless trained on them.
- ✗
Fine-tune the foundation model on a corpus of bilingual company documents.
Why it's wrong here
Fine-tuning requires significant effort and data, not a quick win.
- ✗
Switch to Amazon Translate with custom terminology.
Why it's wrong here
Amazon Translate is a different service; not using the foundation model.
