39Design AI review summaries for a hotel-booking or shopping app. How do you keep them from misleading people?▼mediumNewAmazonBooking.com◆ premiumSummaries shape purchases strongly, so their framing matters. Summarise only themes several verified reviewers share, show counts and the balance of views, link to the source reviews, and test for sentiment drift before release.Practise this question →Read answer →
28The new model wins the A/B test on thumbs-up rate, but reviewers say it agrees with users too easily. Do you ship it?▼hardNewOpenAIAnthropicGoogle DeepMind◆ premiumUsers rate flattering answers higher, so the launch metric points the wrong way. Build the measurement that catches it and decide what blocks a launch.Practise this question →Read answer →
31Engineering set every feature to maximum reasoning effort 'to be safe'. What does that cost, and how would you set effort per feature?▼mediumNewAnthropicOpenAI◆ premiumReasoning tokens are billed as output and add latency. Find the lowest effort that holds quality for each feature, and spend high effort where it measurably helps.Practise this question →Read answer →
32We forced the model to answer in strict JSON, and accuracy on our reasoning-heavy task dropped. Why, and what would you change?▼mediumNewOpenAIAnthropic◆ premiumConstraining output format helps parsing and can hurt thinking. Decide where the reasoning happens, then test the structure on your own eval.Practise this question →Read answer →
40Should our Hindi and Tamil support assistant translate questions through English, or answer in the user's language?▼hardNewFlipkartSarvam AI◆ premiumTranslation through English helped low-resource Indian languages and hurt Hindi in one benchmark. Route by language, protect what must not be translated and measure on your own customers' messages.Practise this question →Read answer →
26Design an AI feature that summarizes unread workplace messages without losing urgent actions or exposing private threads.▼hardNewMicrosoftGoogleGlean◆ premiumDefine what unread means, preserve edits and permissions, and make every action item traceable. The design must tell users when the summary covers only part of their inbox.Practise this question →Read answer →
29Design plain-English questions over our data warehouse for every employee. Then a wrong revenue number reaches a board deck.▼hardNewUberLinkedInSwiggy◆ premiumOpen schema access answers more questions and produces more wrong numbers that look right. Choose the scope, the permissions and the evidence each answer must show.Practise this question →Read answer →
32Finance wants us to route each request to the cheapest model that can handle it. Design the router and decide whether it pays.▼hardNewOpenAIMicrosoftAmazon◆ premiumThe token bill drops by two-thirds and failures rise by one point. Price the failures before you call it a saving, and check what routing does to your cache.Practise this question →Read answer →
33Design long-term memory for a consumer AI assistant. Users must be able to see it, correct it and make it forget.▼hardNewAnthropicMistral AIGoogle◆ premiumStuffing every past conversation into context is expensive and still forgets. Decide what becomes a memory, how deletion cascades and how you test updates and forgetting.Practise this question →Read answer →
40Our coding agent guesses wrong on vague tickets, or asks five trivial questions. When should it stop and ask?▼hardNewAnthropicCursor◆ premiumModels rarely ask unless told to, and research shows asking at the right moment raises success substantially. Ask when the answer changes the outcome and the action is costly, batch questions up front, and measure both kinds of error.Practise this question →Read answer →
40We turned on an AI code reviewer that comments on every pull request. How do you tell whether it catches real problems or just adds noise?▼hardNewAtlassianGoogleMicrosoft◆ premiumPublished systems measure whether comments lead to code changes, aim for a precision target and filter non-actionable comments. Compare against human comments, seed known bugs for recall and run a randomised rollout.Practise this question →Read answer →
03Plan the launch of a new, cheaper and faster model tier for your API.▼hard★ EssentialNewAnthropicOpenAIGoogleunlockedA launch question where positioning, pricing, evaluation and capacity all have to line up.

05Infrastructure proposes serving our model in 4-bit precision to cut costs by more than half. How do you decide?▼hardNewNVIDIAMetaMistral AIunlockedQuantization offers large savings with small average quality loss, and the averages hide where the loss lands. The interviewer wants evaluation on real workloads, by segment, before any cost win is claimed.Practise this question →Read answer →
13What should go in the documentation (model card or system card) that ships with a new model?▼mediumNewAnthropicGoogle DeepMindMeta◆ premiumModel documentation is read by developers deciding whether to build on a model, by enterprises doing due diligence, and by regulators. The interviewer wants contents that serve all three, honestly.Practise this question →Read answer →
15You're prototyping a voice and text assistant for Hindi, Tamil and Hinglish speakers. How do you test it in a short cycle?▼hardNewSarvam AIGoogleFlipkart◆ premiumPrototypes tested in English hide most of what goes wrong for users in other languages. The interviewer wants a prototype cycle that tests real speech and text from target users, with native evaluation.Practise this question →Read answer →
37Take-home: build a prototype for this problem and send a two-minute video. What do you build, and what goes in the two minutes?▼mediumNewShopifyAnthropicCanva◆ premiumTwo minutes rewards one finished user journey and an honest failure. Confirm the AI-tool rules first, build one end-to-end job with a small eval, and spend the video on the problem, the demo, the failure and the next step.Practise this question →Read answer →
28Tell me about a time your evals said a change was better but expert reviewers or users said it was worse. Which signal did you trust?▼hardNewOpenAIAnthropic◆ premiumPanels want to hear that you did not average two signals. Show how you found out which one was measuring the wrong thing, and what you added to the launch gate afterwards.Practise this question →Read answer →
37Tell me about a time a fix for one AI quality problem created a different problem.▼mediumNewGoogleAnthropicOpenAI◆ premiumFixing harmful outputs often creates over-refusals, and fixing bias can create absurd answers.
