Easy to mix up on the Google Cloud Generative AI Leader exam
Exam questions often use two ideas that sound alike. Learn the difference once and several questions become easy.
| Pair | The key difference | How to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Grounding or Fine-tuning | Grounding connects model outputs to external, current data at response time, while fine-tuning adjusts the model itself using additional training data. | Choose grounding when answers must reflect up-to-date company facts; consider tuning when you need a specialised style or task behaviour. |
| Gemini or Vertex AI | Gemini is a family of Google models, while Vertex AI is the Google Cloud platform used to access, build with and manage models. | Say Gemini when you mean the model's capability; say Vertex AI when you mean the managed platform for building and deploying solutions. |
| Hallucination or Bias | A hallucination is a confident but fabricated or incorrect output, while bias is a systematic skew in outputs that favours or disadvantages certain groups or views. | If an answer invents a fact, treat it as hallucination; if outputs consistently treat groups unequally, treat it as bias. |
| Prompt engineering or Model tuning | Prompt engineering improves results by changing the input instructions and context, while tuning changes the model's parameters using training examples. | Start with prompt engineering because it is fast and low cost; move to tuning only when prompting cannot reach the quality you need. |
