• some answers tended to be high-level (some rambling) and didn't get into much depth - did ok with RAG vector embeddings, but understanding of the fine-tuning concept was limited
• when asked about tech recommendations for a quick LLM POC, mentioned LangChain and "ChatGPT"; however, talked about LangChain as an orchestration layer and the primary reason to use "ChatGPT" was because others were using it
• Overall, candidate seems like he is in the beginning phases of his journey with generative AI. He is a business focused consultant who is looking to deliver solutions for stakeholders, but when compared to other interviews, seems to lack the experience expected for the innovation team.
• looking for development exp Gen AI solution delivery
