A developer is using a foundation model to answer questions about a company's product catalog. The catalog has thousands of items. The developer wants to ensure the model only uses accurate product information. Which approach is most effective?

Use a diffusion model to create product images

Rely on the model's pre-trained knowledge of the products

Retrieve relevant product details from a database and include them in the prompt

Ask the model to generate product details from memory

A company uses a foundation model to generate weekly reports. Each report is based on a 50,000-token dataset. The team wants to reduce the cost of generating these reports. Which approach is most cost-effective?

Summarize the dataset in chunks and then generate the report from the combined summaries

Send the entire 50,000-token dataset in a single prompt

Use a larger model to process the dataset faster

Increase the output token limit to generate a longer report

What is the primary goal of context engineering in a generative AI application?

To retrain the model on domain-specific data

To increase the model's context window size

To reduce the number of tokens used in a prompt to lower costs

To provide the model with relevant background information so it can generate more accurate and useful responses

A company runs a customer-facing Q&A bot that uses a foundation model. The bot currently sends the full conversation history plus a large knowledge-base excerpt with every request. Users report slow responses and the team wants to reduce cost. Which change should the team make first?

Reduce the amount of knowledge-base text included by retrieving only relevant sections

Increase the model's temperature to speed up responses

Switch to a larger model to handle the full context faster

Remove the conversation history entirely to save tokens

A company is building an agentic system for IT support. The system must remember user preferences across sessions, call a ticketing API, and escalate to a human when needed. The team is debating whether to use a single agent or multiple specialized agents. Which factor is most important in this decision?

Multiple agents always require more memory than a single agent

A single agent cannot use memory or tools

The need for persistent memory and tool usage across sessions

The number of agents determines whether the system can use tools
