AI-102 Implement generative AI solutions Practice Question
A company uses Azure OpenAI to generate code snippets. They notice that the model sometimes produces code that uses deprecated APIs. They want to minimize this without retraining the model. What should they do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Microsoft often tests the distinction between prompt engineering techniques (system messages, few-shot examples, parameter tuning) and model customization (fine-tuning), and the trap here is that candidates may confuse few-shot prompting (Option D) with a system message, not realizing that a system message provides a more persistent and scalable way to enforce behavioral rules across all responses.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add a system message instructing the model to use only current, non-deprecated APIs.
Adding a system message in Azure OpenAI allows you to set high-level instructions that guide the model's behavior without retraining. By explicitly instructing the model to use only current, non-deprecated APIs, you leverage the system prompt's ability to influence output style and content, effectively reducing deprecated API usage in generated code snippets.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Fine-tune the model on a dataset of recent code.
Why it's wrong here
Fine-tuning is resource-intensive and may be overkill.
- ✗
Set the temperature parameter to 0 to reduce randomness.
Why it's wrong here
Temperature does not control factual accuracy.
- ✓
Add a system message instructing the model to use only current, non-deprecated APIs.
Why this is correct
System messages effectively guide model behavior.
- ✗
Provide a few-shot example of correct code in the prompt.
Why it's wrong here
Few-shot examples may not generalize to all cases.
