AIF-C01Domain 3: Applications of Foundation ModelsGenerative AI & BedrockmediumSingle choice

A team needs a foundation model to adopt a consistent brand tone and domain terminology in its responses. They want results fast without training infrastructure. What should they try FIRST?

A.Fine-tuning the model on brand documents

Fine-tuning works but is slower, costlier — try prompting first.

B.Prompt engineering with style instructions and few-shot examples

Correct. Instructions + examples shape style with zero training.

C.Continued pre-training from scratch

Pre-training is a massive undertaking reserved for base-model creation.

D.Deploying a larger model

A bigger model doesn't inherently know your brand voice.

Why this answer

Prompt engineering — system prompts with style instructions plus few-shot examples — is the fastest, cheapest lever for tone/terminology and requires no training. Fine-tuning is the escalation path when prompting can't capture the pattern.
