1. What is the main idea of "Embedding models: pick by task, not by hype"?

   1. OpenAI, Voyage, Cohere, and open-source models all do embeddings — best one depends on your use case.
   2. Use AI as the final authority for the whole decision
   3. Avoid checking the answer once it sounds polished
   4. Focus only on speed instead of judgment

2. Which concept is most central to "Embedding models: pick by task, not by hype"?

   1. retrieval
   2. embeddings
   3. unrelated shortcut
   4. Use the first answer without checking it

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   2. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation
   3. Voyage and Cohere often beat OpenAI on retrieval benchmarks.
   4. Use the first answer without checking it

4. What should a careful learner remember about "The rule"?

   1. Run a tiny eval with your real queries before picking an embedding model.
   2. Skip the context so the tool can guess faster
   3. Treat the output as private even after sharing it online
   4. Use the answer without checking the source

5. You want to use AI after this lesson. What is the safest next step?

   2. Use the AI answer as a draft, then check it against a reliable source.
   3. Hide uncertainty so the final answer looks cleaner
   4. Use private or sensitive details before checking permission

6. How should AI output about embeddings be treated?

   1. As proof that no other source is needed
   2. As a replacement for context, consent, or expert review
   3. As a draft or helper output that still needs human judgment and verification
   4. As something that becomes correct when it sounds confident

7. Name one way to verify an AI answer about embeddings.
