Simple meaning

Live APIs and databases supply ground truth the weights never had.

WHY — Tokens instead of words?

LLMs use tokens (not full words) because it helps them:

This is a process

question about Function calling.

Panels listen for order,

trade-offs, and what you would actually do on a GenAI / LLM project - not buzzwords.

Stable token IDs

Each piece maps to a number the network can learn.

Fits the model

Fixed pieces are what transformers expect as input.

STEPS — What happens step by step?

Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:

  1. 1
    Live APIs and databases

    supply ground truth the weights never had.

  2. 2
    The model still can

    call the wrong tool or misread the JSON.

  3. 3
    Tool errors must be

    fed back so the model can recover instead of inventing a number.

  4. 4
    Give an example

    One tiny concrete case you can say aloud.

  5. 5
    Common mistake

    What juniors usually get wrong.

  6. 6

    When you pick this over the alternative.
