In this lesson

Prepare for the AI-901 exam (Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals). In this lesson: tokens and next-token prediction, embeddings and attention, why models invent answers and how RAG grounds them, choosing a model (LLMs, SLMs, multimodal, reasoning, embeddings) in the Microsoft Foundry model catalog, deploying a model and the deployment types (Global Standard, Data Zone Standard, Standard, Provisioned, Batch), and configuration parameters (system message, temperature, top_p, max output tokens, penalties). Includes three original practice questions.

  • A retailer’s chatbot uses a general model with no access to company data. It says the return window is 30 days, but the real policy is 14 days. What best explains this?
  • Field technicians need an assistant that runs offline on tablets and answers questions about a single equipment manual. What fits best?
  • A German bank must keep prompt processing inside the EU. Its traffic is unpredictable, and it wants to pay per token. Which deployment type fits best?
