1. A developer writes a prompt that produces excellent results on Claude. When they copy the same prompt to ChatGPT, the output quality drops significantly. What fundamental reality does this demonstrate?

   1. ChatGPT is fundamentally less capable than Claude at following complex instructions
   2. Prompts optimized for one model often degrade when transferred to other models without modification
   3. The prompt needs to be shortened for ChatGPT to process it correctly
   4. The developer made a syntax error when copying the prompt

2. What does 'prompt translation' refer to in the context of cross-model deployment?

   1. Encoding prompts into base64 for secure transmission
   2. Converting a text prompt into a structured JSON format
   3. Translating user requests from one language to another using AI
   4. Adapting a prompt's wording, structure, and parameters to work equivalently across different AI models

3. A team is deploying their AI application across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. What is the minimum testing approach recommended in the lesson?

   1. Test on one model and assume the prompt works on others
   2. Only test on the model with the most capabilities
   3. Test during development but not after deployment
   4. Test prompts on each target model before assuming they work

4. When should a team maintain separate model-specific prompt variants?

   1. Never, because the goal is complete portability
   2. Only when using free-tier versions of models
   3. Only when the models are from different vendors
   4. When small differences between models meaningfully impact output quality for their use case

5. What is 'divergence tolerance' in a cross-model prompt portability test?

   1. The acceptable level of difference in outputs across different models
   2. The maximum token count allowed in prompts
   3. The degree to which a model can diverge from user intent
   4. The rate at which models become outdated

6. A company deploys a prompt to production across three models. One model receives an update that changes its output behavior. What type of testing should catch this issue?

   1. Regression testing
   2. Static code analysis
   3. A/B testing only
   4. Unit testing

7. Which of these is explicitly listed as something AI cannot do regarding cross-model prompts?

   1. Process prompts faster than 100ms
   2. Generate outputs longer than 4096 tokens
   3. Get truly identical behavior across models
   4. Connect to external APIs

8. What are 'vendor-specific quirks'?

   1. Network latency issues when calling different APIs
   2. Bugs in AI model pricing structures
   3. Unique behavioral tendencies or idiosyncrasies inherent to each AI model's design and training
   4. Legal differences between AI providers

9. What is the primary goal of building an evaluation suite for cross-model prompts?

   1. To replace human testers entirely
   2. To generate training data for fine-tuning
   3. To systematically test prompts across all production models and identify portability issues
   4. To reduce the cost of API calls

10. Why can't teams skip testing prompts on each new model they adopt?

    1. Because each model has different instruction-following characteristics that require verification
    2. Because testing is required by law
    3. Because prompts always work identically on new models
    4. Because of copyright issues with prompt wording

11. In a cross-model prompt portability test design, what is the 'test set' component?

    1. A set of representative inputs used to evaluate prompt performance across models
    2. The code that converts prompts between formats
    3. The team members who will manually review outputs
    4. The collection of target models for deployment

12. What does 'vendor independence' mean as a key term in this lesson?

    1. Free access to all AI models
    2. Ownership of the AI model itself
    3. The ability to switch between AI providers without rewriting all prompts from scratch
    4. The ability to run AI models without internet connection

13. What does the 'per-model adjustment workflow' component of a portability test describe?

    1. The order in which models should be tested
    2. The process of automatically generating prompts for each model
    3. The documented steps for adapting a prompt when moving it to a new model
    4. The pricing differences between models

14. A developer notices their prompt works slightly differently on Claude versus Gemini, but the output is still functional for their use case. What should they consider regarding divergence tolerance?

    1. They should abandon the project until outputs are identical
    2. All differences are unacceptable and must be eliminated
    3. They should always prefer the Claude version
    4. They should define what level of difference is acceptable for their specific use case

15. What does 'model portability' refer to?

    1. The ability to export model weights to other formats
    2. The ability to run models on mobile devices
    3. The ability to use the same prompt across different AI models with acceptable results
    4. The ability to move an AI model to different hardware
