What to know about Describe features of generative AI workloads on Azure
Deploy and prompt models in Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Foundry, choosing GPT-4o or DALL-E for generative tasks. The critical skill is grounding responses with your own data via RAG to prevent hallucination.
Distinguishing generative AI, which creates new content, from discriminative models that classify or predict labels
Identifying Azure OpenAI Service capabilities including GPT models, DALL-E image generation, and embeddings
Recognizing prompt engineering basics: system, user, and assistant messages plus completion outputs
Applying Microsoft's responsible AI principles to generative workloads, including transparency, safety filters, and content moderation
Watch out for
Common Describe features of generative AI workloads on Azure exam traps
- ▸Assuming Azure OpenAI Service hosts only OpenAI models, ignoring that it also offers Microsoft and third-party models through Azure AI Foundry
- ▸Confusing a model deployment name with the underlying base model name, which breaks API calls and endpoint configuration
- ▸Treating hallucination as a bug fixed by retraining, rather than an inherent limitation mitigated with grounding, retrieval, and prompt design
