1. Which company developed the Qwen 3 Coder model?

   1. OpenAI
   2. Google
   3. Alibaba
   4. Meta

2. What does the term 'open weights' mean when applied to an AI model?

   1. The model automatically updates itself when new data is released
   2. The model weights are visible to users but cannot be modified
   3. The model's internal parameters are publicly available for download and self-hosting
   4. The model can only be accessed through a paid API

3. What capability does 'FIM' (Fill-in-the-Middle) provide to a coding model?

   1. It enables the model to predict missing sections of code between given prefixes and suffixes
   2. It allows the model to write code faster by skipping intermediate steps
   3. It lets the model complete only the end of partially written functions
   4. It gives the model the ability to fill in documentation after code is written

4. For which type of coding task is Qwen 3 Coder specifically recommended in the lesson?

   1. Long autonomous coding projects that run overnight
   2. Only documentation writing tasks
   3. Debugging code written in other languages
   4. Inline assistance and one-shot code generation

5. What distinguishes Qwen 3 Coder's bilingual comment quality according to the comparison provided?

   1. It supports only Chinese comments
   2. It uses machine translation for comments
   3. It supports only English comments
   4. Its bilingual comments are rated as 'Excellent'

6. Why might a development team working in both Chinese and English find Qwen 3 Coder particularly useful?

   1. It is the only model that supports Chinese characters
   2. It can translate between programming languages automatically
   3. It automatically detects the developer's native language
   4. Its comment quality in both Chinese and English is a real ergonomic win

7. How does the lesson characterize Qwen 3 Coder's agentic capabilities compared to Claude Code?

   1. They are less mature and better suited for simpler tasks
   2. They are equally mature and production-ready
   3. They require additional payment to access
   4. They are more advanced for long autonomous runs

8. What is the primary strength of Qwen 3 Coder that the lesson highlights?

   1. It was the first coding model ever created
   2. It rarely tops US headlines but ships top-tier coding benchmarks
   3. It is the cheapest coding model available
   4. It only works with closed-source APIs

9. Which technical capability enables Qwen 3 Coder to integrate directly with integrated development environments (IDEs)?

   1. FIM (Fill-in-the-Middle) capability
   2. Web browser access
   3. Image generation features
   4. Voice command support

10. What type of coding tasks should a developer avoid using Qwen 3 Coder for, based on its limitations?

    1. Inline code completion
    2. Simple variable naming suggestions
    3. Long autonomous coding runs
    4. One-shot function generation

11. According to the comparison table, what bilingual comment rating does DeepSeek V3.5 receive?

    1. Excellent
    2. Not supported
    3. Poor
    4. Good

12. What is a key advantage of self-hosting an open weights model like Qwen 3 Coder?

    1. The model automatically improves itself over time
    2. It provides free unlimited API calls
    3. It requires no computational resources to run
    4. Data never leaves your own servers, enhancing privacy

13. Why might a developer choose a mid-frontier model like Qwen 3 Coder over a specialist model like Codestral 25?

    1. Specialist models are always more expensive
    2. Mid-frontier models require less memory to run
    3. Specialist models cannot write code, only review it
    4. Mid-frontier models offer more balanced capabilities across different tasks

14. What specific coding scenario is FIM (Fill-in-the-Middle) designed to handle?

    1. Generating unit tests for existing functions
    2. Writing code from scratch given a prompt
    3. Predicting code in the middle when you know the beginning and end
    4. Translating code from one language to another

15. What does it mean that Qwen 3 Coder is described as a 'quiet competitor' in the US market?

    1. US companies are not allowed to use the model
    2. The model only competes in quiet coding environments
    3. The model is not available in the United States
    4. It doesn't receive major US media attention but performs competitively
