Watch out for

Common Google Cloud's Generative AI Offerings exam traps

  • IaaS gives you infrastructure control; SaaS gives you only the application.
  • Hybrid cloud combines on-premises and public cloud — not two public clouds.
  • Cloud does not automatically mean cheaper or more secure.
  • Management responsibility shifts with each service model (IaaSPaaSSaaS).

A 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?

6

A 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?

Hard

Hard
42

A 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.
