A company is deploying a large language model for a customer service chatbot. The model needs to understand industry-specific jargon and maintain low latency. Which approach best balances these requirements?

Trap 1: Employ retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with a general model

RAG helps with facts but does not deeply embed jargon into model behavior.

Trap 2: Rely solely on prompt engineering with a general model

Prompt engineering may not suffice for consistent understanding of specialized terms.

Trap 3: Use a large general-purpose LLM with zero-shot prompting

Large models have higher latency and may still miss niche jargon.

A
Employ retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with a general model
Why wrong: RAG helps with facts but does not deeply embed jargon into model behavior.
B
Rely solely on prompt engineering with a general model
Why wrong: Prompt engineering may not suffice for consistent understanding of specialized terms.
C
Use a large general-purpose LLM with zero-shot prompting
Why wrong: Large models have higher latency and may still miss niche jargon.
D
Fine-tune a small open-source LLM on domain-specific data
Fine-tuning adapts the model to jargon and a smaller model keeps latency low.

Fundamentals of Large Language Models questions

A company is deploying a large language model for a customer service chatbot. The model needs to understand industry-specific jargon and maintain low latency. Which approach best balances these requirements?

A data scientist observes that their fine-tuned LLM performs well on training data but generates repetitive and dull responses in production. What is the most likely cause and best solution?

An organization wants to use an LLM to summarize legal documents. Which consideration is most important for ensuring accurate summaries?

A developer is building a code generation assistant. The model occasionally produces syntactically correct but semantically wrong code. Which technique directly addresses semantic correctness?

A company fine-tunes an LLM on internal support tickets. After deployment, the model hallucinates company-specific product names. What is the most effective mitigation?

A team wants to evaluate an LLM's performance on a text classification task. Which metric is most appropriate for a balanced dataset?

An LLM-based application must comply with data privacy regulations by not memorizing personally identifiable information (PII). Which technique best reduces memorization of PII?

Which TWO factors most significantly influence the computational cost of fine-tuning a large language model?

Which TWO techniques are commonly used to reduce the memory footprint of LLM inference?

Which THREE are essential steps in the prompt engineering process for an LLM?

A data scientist is using a large language model to summarize customer support tickets. The model occasionally generates summaries that include hallucinated details not present in the original ticket. Which technique would best reduce hallucinations while maintaining summary quality?

An enterprise is deploying a chat application using a large language model. Users report that the model sometimes generates toxic or biased responses. Which best practice should be applied to mitigate this issue?

A team is fine-tuning a large language model for a domain-specific Q&A application. After fine-tuning, they observe that the model performs well on the training distribution but struggles with out-of-distribution (OOD) questions. Which approach would best improve OOD robustness?

A developer is using a large language model to generate code snippets. The model often produces code that is syntactically correct but functionally incorrect. What is the most effective way to improve the functional correctness of the generated code?

A company is deploying a large language model in a customer-facing chatbot. The model's responses must be both accurate and safe. Which combination of techniques should be employed?

A research team is experimenting with few-shot prompting to improve a model's performance on a complex reasoning task. They find that the model's performance degrades when the few-shot examples are too similar to each other. What is the likely cause and best remedy?

Which TWO of the following are common applications of large language models in enterprise settings?

Which THREE of the following are known limitations of large language models that practitioners must consider?

Refer to the exhibit. A developer ran the OCI CLI command shown and received the JSON output. What does the output indicate about the model's confidence and why?

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit. A developer runs the OCI CLI command and receives the output. However, the text "Hello, how are you?" is actually a mix of English and French words. Why does the model assign only 0.03 to French?
