Knowledge check: the basics

Three questions on how models work and where they go wrong.

This short check covers the core ideas from the first two modules: how language models produce text, what limits the context window sets, and where hallucinations tend to appear.

Answer each question, then read the explanation, even when you got it right. The explanations add a practical detail you can use at work.

  3. Check specific facts first; they are where errors hide.
