1. What is one task an AI tool can help a creator with when selecting an embedding model?

   1. Generate the final embedding vectors for your entire database automatically
   2. Install the embedding model directly onto your server
   3. Draft an embedding evaluation plan tailored to your specific retrieval needs
   4. Predict which embedding model will perform best on your data without any testing

2. A creator wants to know which embedding model will definitely perform best on their dataset. What does the lesson indicate about this?

   1. AI can reliably predict the best model based on data characteristics
   2. No method can predict the winner without actually running the evaluation
   3. The best model can be determined by reading the model cards
   4. The most expensive model always performs best

3. What does it mean that embeddings are not portable across different embedding models?

   1. Embeddings created in one language cannot be used in another language
   2. If you switch embedding models, you must recompute embeddings for your entire dataset
   3. Embedding vectors can only be stored in certain file formats
   4. Embedding vectors cannot be shared between team members

4. The lesson suggests that default embeddings 'work but rarely win.' What does this imply?

   1. Default embeddings are always the worst option available
   2. Using default embeddings typically produces acceptable results but often better options exist
   3. Default embeddings require no technical knowledge to implement
   4. Default embeddings are only suitable for large datasets

5. When an AI helps suggest 'dimensions per use case' for embedding model evaluation, what is it doing?

   1. Recommending which specific model to purchase
   2. Calculating the exact cost of each model
   3. Identifying the criteria that matter most for your particular application
   4. Writing the computer code to run the embeddings

6. What type of output can an AI help format for comparing embedding models?

   1. The actual numerical embeddings
   2. A decision tree flowchart for coding
   3. A cost-versus-quality tradeoff table
   4. A legal contract for model licensing

7. The lesson notes that AI cannot account for changing model availability. What does this refer to?

   1. AI cannot predict when models will be discontinued, pricing will change, or new models will launch
   2. AI cannot handle models that require authentication
   3. AI cannot work with open-source models
   4. AI cannot calculate storage requirements for embeddings

8. The lesson describes designing an evaluation comparing three embedding models. What are these models being compared against?

   1. The most popular models on social media
   2. Each other on your actual retrieval needs and data
   3. The cheapest models on the market
   4. Each other on generic benchmark datasets

9. Which of the following is explicitly listed in the lesson as something AI does well in the model selection process?

   1. Running the embedding computation on your data
   2. Guaranteeing the cheapest solution
   3. Predicting future retrieval accuracy with certainty
   4. Drafting an embedding evaluation plan

10. What is the core premise of this lesson on embedding model selection?

    1. AI can help scaffold comparison across candidates with your specific data
    2. OpenAI embeddings are always the best choice
    3. Embedding models are too complex for creators to evaluate
    4. Default embeddings should never be used

11. When the lesson mentions 'retrieval needs,' what type of needs is it referring to?

    1. How quickly the API responds to requests
    2. How many languages the model supports
    3. How well the embedding model finds relevant results for your specific use case
    4. How much storage space your vectors require

12. Why might a creator choose to evaluate multiple embedding models instead of using a default?

    1. Different models may perform better for different types of data and retrieval tasks
    2. AI cannot help with defaults
    3. Defaults are always free while other models cost money
    4. Default embeddings violate copyright law

13. A team plans to switch their embedding model but underestimates the effort required. What key factor from the lesson did they likely overlook?

    1. That embeddings must be recomputed for the entire corpus when switching models
    2. The need to upgrade their hardware
    3. The need to retrain their machine learning models
    4. The requirement to hire additional developers

14. What are two things the lesson indicates AI cannot do when helping with embedding model selection?

    1. Write code and format tables
    2. Suggest evaluation dimensions and compare costs
    3. Draft evaluation plans and format tradeoffs
    4. Predict the winning model and account for changing model availability

15. A creator asks an AI to help evaluate embedding models. What should they provide to get useful evaluation dimensions?

    1. Their budget only
    2. A list of all available embedding models
    3. Their specific use case and what retrieval quality means to them
    4. The names of their favorite AI companies
