AI-102 Implement generative AI solutions Practice Question
A developer uses the Azure OpenAI API to generate code. They want to ensure that the generated code is in Python. Which parameter should they set?
⚠ Common exam trap
Microsoft often tests the distinction between parameters that control output randomness (temperature, top_p) and those that control output structure or behavior (system message), leading candidates to mistakenly choose temperature or top_p for language specification.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
system message
The system message is used to set the behavior and context of the AI model, including specifying the desired output format or language. By setting the system message to 'You are a helpful assistant that always writes code in Python', the developer can instruct the model to generate Python code consistently. This parameter is part of the chat completions API and directly influences the model's persona and constraints.
