1. What is the main idea of "AI tools: cost-control patterns for LLM features"?

   1. Caching, smaller models for easy turns, hard caps per user, and a kill switch. Cost runaway is a product bug, not just an ops problem.
   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 "AI tools: cost-control patterns for LLM features"?

   1. caching
   2. cost control
   3. tiered models
   4. unrelated shortcut

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Decide on its own when to use a smaller model
   2. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   3. Return cached responses when given a cache hit
   4. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation

4. Which limitation should you watch for in this topic?

   1. Return cached responses when given a cache hit
   2. Explain the topic in plain language
   3. Organize a draft for human review
   4. Decide on its own when to use a smaller model

5. What should a careful learner remember about "Try this layered approach"?

   1. Use AI to draft or organize ideas about cost control, then verify before acting.
   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

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

   1. Act immediately because the AI answer is written clearly
   2. Use AI for drafting and comparison, but verify before publishing or relying on it.
   3. Hide uncertainty so the final answer looks cleaner
   4. Use private or sensitive details before checking permission

7. How should AI output about cost control 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

8. Name one way to verify an AI answer about cost control.

9. Which action would help you apply "AI tools: cost-control patterns for LLM features" responsibly?

   1. Cache its own responses without infrastructure
   2. Use the tool to avoid thinking through the tradeoff
   3. Keep going even if the output conflicts with a trusted source
   4. Use a smaller model when explicitly routed

10. Which choice is a bad use of AI for this lesson?

    1. Cache its own responses without infrastructure
    2. Return cached responses when given a cache hit
    3. Ask for a plain-language explanation of caching
    4. Compare the answer with a trusted source
