Practice scenarios

Question 1easymulti select

Full question →

A developer is troubleshooting an OCI Generative AI inference request that returns a 400 Bad Request error. Which three common causes could result in this error? (Choose three.)

A
Incorrect endpoint URL
A wrong URL may cause the request to be malformed or routed incorrectly, resulting in a 400.
B
Invalid API key in the request header
Why wrong: An invalid API key results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
C
Missing required parameters in the request body
Required fields like 'modelId' or 'prompt' are omitted.
D
Exceeding the model's maximum token limit
The input or output exceeds the model's token limit, causing a bad request.
E
Network connectivity issues
Why wrong: Connectivity issues lead to timeouts or 5xx errors, not 400.

A team is troubleshooting a chatbot that sometimes outputs harmful content despite having a system prompt with safety instructions. Which THREE measures should they implement to reduce the risk?

A
Reinforce the system prompt with explicit safety constraints and periodic reminders
Strengthening the system prompt with detailed safety rules reduces the chance of harmful outputs.
B
Increase temperature to make output more random
Why wrong: Higher temperature increases randomness, which could increase risk of harmful outputs.
C
Add more few-shot examples of safe responses
Why wrong: Few-shot examples may help but are not a direct safety control; they can be overridden.
D
Use output filtering to scan and block harmful responses before showing to users
Output filtering is a critical safety layer to catch unintended content.
E
Implement input filtering to detect and block malicious prompt injection attempts
Input filtering helps prevent prompt injection that could bypass safety instructions.

Question 3hardmultiple choice

You are a cloud architect at a global e-commerce company. The company is building a RAG-based product support chatbot using OCI Generative AI Service and OCI OpenSearch. The chatbot must answer customer questions in real-time by retrieving from a product knowledge base containing over 10 million documents. The current architecture uses a single vector index with all documents, and the LLM (Cohere Command R+) returns answers in English only. The team observes that queries from non-English customers often return irrelevant results, and the chatbot sometimes fails to generate answers within the 5-second SLA. The leadership wants to support 10 languages and reduce the average response time to under 3 seconds. You need to propose a solution that improves both relevance and latency. Which course of action should you take?

A
Increase the number of OCI OpenSearch nodes and upgrade the LLM to a faster variant.
Why wrong: Scaling compute alone doesn't fix relevance; retrieval inefficiency remains.
B
Replace the embedding model with a multilingual model and partition the vector index by language to reduce search space.
Multilingual model improves relevance; partitioning improves latency.
C
Translate all non-English queries to English before retrieval and use an English-only embedding model.
Why wrong: Translation adds latency and may introduce errors.
D
Implement a caching layer for frequent queries and use a larger LLM for better accuracy.
Why wrong: Caching helps speed but not relevance for diverse languages.

Question 4easymultiple choice

Full question →

A developer wants the model to generate a bullet list of steps to troubleshoot a network issue. Which output format specification should be included in the prompt?

A
Use a few-shot example with numbered steps
Why wrong: Numbered steps are not bullet list; the question explicitly asks for bullet list.
B
Provide a table format
Why wrong: Table format is not suitable for a list of steps.
C
Set temperature to 0
Why wrong: Temperature does not affect output format.
D
Request 'bullet list' in the output format
Specifying 'bullet list' in the output format prompts the model to generate each step as a bullet point.

Question 5hardmulti select

An OCI user is troubleshooting a prompt that sometimes produces outputs containing offensive language. The prompt uses a system prompt to set a professional tone. Which THREE steps should the user take to mitigate this issue? (Select three.)

A
Apply a frequency penalty to discourage repetition of offensive phrases
Frequency penalty reduces token repetition, which can help if offensive language appears repeatedly.
B
Increase temperature to 0.9 to dilute the offending outputs
Why wrong: Higher temperature increases randomness and may produce more unpredictable (and possibly offensive) language.
C
Test the prompt with diverse inputs including adversarial examples
Testing with edge cases helps identify and fix vulnerabilities.
D
Add a constraint in the system prompt: 'Do not use offensive or inappropriate language.'
Explicit constraints directly guide the model's behavior.
E
Remove the system prompt to avoid overriding model's safety training
Why wrong: Removing the system prompt removes a layer of control and may make the problem worse.

Question 6mediummultiple choice

Full question →

An AI specialist is troubleshooting why a fine-tuned model produces inconsistent results across different inference calls. What is the most likely cause?

A
The base model is not suitable
Why wrong: Unsuitable base model leads to consistently poor quality, not inconsistency.
B
The temperature is set too high
High temperature increases randomness, causing variable outputs.
C
The model is overfitted
Why wrong: Overfitting leads to consistent but poor generalization, not inconsistency.
D
The fine-tuning dataset is too small
Why wrong: Small dataset may cause overfitting, not necessarily inconsistency.

Question 7hardmulti select

A prompt engineer is troubleshooting a chatbot that consistently fails to follow instructions when the user includes adversarial input. Which two strategies can mitigate prompt injection attacks? (Choose two.)

A
Increase temperature to make model less predictable
Why wrong: Higher temperature does not prevent injection; it may even increase erratic behavior.
B
Use instruction shielding: clearly separate system instructions from user input
Separating instructions from user input prevents the model from treating user input as instructions.
C
Use a smaller model to reduce capability
Why wrong: Model size does not prevent injection; smaller models may be less capable but still vulnerable.
D
Add more few-shot examples with safe outputs
Why wrong: Examples do not prevent injection; they only show desired behavior.
E
Implement input validation and sanitization to remove adversarial patterns
Sanitizing input removes potential injection strings before they reach the model.

Question 8easymultiple choice

A startup is building a customer support chatbot using RAG with OCI Generative AI. They have a large corpus of FAQ documents stored as PDFs in OCI Object Storage. The developer uses OCI Language to embed the text and stores vectors in OCI OpenSearch. During testing, the chatbot often fails to answer questions because relevant FAQ entries are not retrieved. The team suspects the chunking size is too large, causing loss of specific details. After reducing chunk size, retrieval improves slightly but still misses many answers. What should the team do NEXT?

A
Use a sliding window chunking strategy with overlap
Overlap preserves context across chunk boundaries, improving recall.
B
Increase the number of retrieved chunks (k)
Why wrong: This may introduce more irrelevant chunks and increase noise.
C
Switch to a different embedding model
Why wrong: Model change is costly and may not address chunk boundary issues.
D
Manually rephrase the queries
Why wrong: Not scalable and may not fix the underlying retrieval problem.

Question 9hardmulti select

Full question →

A developer is troubleshooting low recall in a vector search. Which THREE factors should be checked? (Choose three.)

A
Embedding model quality and relevance to domain
A model not trained on similar data may produce poor embeddings.
B
Chunk size and overlap strategy
Improper chunking can cause important information to be missed or poorly represented.
C
Quality of the query embedding generation
If the query is not embedded correctly, the search will not align with semantic intent.
D
The number of results returned (k) in the search
Why wrong: While k affects recall, the question is about underlying factors causing low recall, not tuning parameters.
E
The LLM's temperature setting
Why wrong: Temperature affects generation randomness, not retrieval recall.
