Which feature should they use to ensure the model only answers from the provided data and avoids hallucination?
Medium3Which TWO features are available in Vertex AI Studio for prompt engineering? (Choose two.)
Easy4A developer is using Vertex AI Studio to prototype a chat application. They want to provide the model with a system instruction to set the tone and style. How should they configure this in the Vertex AI Studio interface?
Easy5A 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?
Medium6A 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?
Hard7Which TWO of the following are capabilities of Vertex AI Model Garden? (Choose 2)

Easy33You 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?

Medium41Which THREE capabilities are provided by Vertex AI Agent Builder? (Choose three.)
Hard42A 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?
