A company uses Azure OpenAI Service to generate marketing copy. They notice that sometimes the generated text contains repetitive phrases or gets stuck in loops. They want to reduce this behavior without changing the overall creativity of the model. Which parameter should they adjust?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
Increase the frequency_penalty parameter.
Correct. Increasing frequency_penalty reduces the likelihood that the model will repeat the same tokens, making it effective against repetitive loops.
B
Distractor review
Decrease the temperature parameter.
Decreasing temperature makes the model more deterministic and less random, but it does not specifically target repetition; it may reduce creativity and still produce loops.
C
Distractor review
Increase the presence_penalty parameter.
Increasing presence_penalty penalizes any token that has appeared at all, which can reduce topic repetition but frequency_penalty is more precise for repetitive phrases.
D
Distractor review
Decrease the top_p parameter.
Decreasing top_p makes the model consider only a smaller set of likely tokens, which can make outputs more focused but does not directly address repetition of already used tokens.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

A developer wants to build a virtual assistant that can understand user intents such as 'Book a flight' or 'Check weather' and extract relevant entities like destination and date. The developer has a small set of labeled example utterances. Which Azure AI Language feature should the developer use?
Question 2
A developer is building a customer support chatbot using Azure OpenAI. The chatbot should never reveal its system instructions or internal configuration. The developer wants to add a rule at the beginning of the conversation to prevent prompt injection attacks. Which technique should they use?
Question 3
A developer is using Azure OpenAI Service to generate product descriptions from technical specifications. The generated descriptions sometimes include plausible-sounding but incorrect details (hallucinations). The developer wants to ensure the model's responses are strictly based on the provided product data and does not add any external or invented information. Which approach should the developer use?
Question 4
A developer is using Azure OpenAI with GPT-4 to build a chatbot that answers legal questions based on a company's internal policy documents. The developer wants the model's responses to be maximally deterministic and factual, avoiding any creative or speculative language. Which parameter should the developer set to the lowest possible value in the API call?
Question 5
A developer is using Azure OpenAI to generate creative product descriptions. The outputs are often repetitive and lack variety. The developer wants to increase the diversity of the generated text while still keeping it coherent. Which parameter should the developer increase?
Question 6
A developer is using Azure OpenAI Service to generate product descriptions. They want the output to be highly focused and deterministic, with less randomness. Which parameter should they decrease?
FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this AI-900 question test?
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Increase the frequency_penalty parameter. — The frequency_penalty parameter penalizes tokens that have already appeared in the generated text, based on their frequency. Increasing this penalty reduces the likelihood of repetition, helping to avoid loops. Temperature controls randomness; decreasing it makes output more deterministic but does not specifically target repetition. Presence_penalty penalizes any token that has appeared at all, regardless of frequency, but frequency_penalty is more targeted for repetitive loops. Top_p controls nucleus sampling, limiting the cumulative probability of tokens; reducing it can make outputs more focused but does not directly address repetition.
