How to prepare

  • T0 interviews go deep. Study the distributed training and inference optimization modules first.
  • Chip and hardware companies focus on CUDA and kernel optimization, so pair them with the CUDA module.
  • AI startups care most about how well you follow new research and how fast you learn.
  • Questions change over time. Use these write-ups to find gaps in your knowledge, not to memorize answers.
