Typical question categories:
- Fundamentals — "Temperature vs top_p? What is a token?"
- Trade-off — "RAG or fine-tuning? When?"
- Live prompt — "Write a prompt for this problem"
- Eval design — "How would you measure success?"
- Safety — "How would you prompt-inject this chatbot? How would you defend?"
- System design — "Design a support chatbot for 100K users"
- Cost — "$10K/month for 1M requests — how?"
Prep: write 5 Q&A per category, bring a real take-home project to show.
