Masterminded by

We've brought together GenAI Pros from Activeloop, Intel Disruptor Initiative, Towards AI, as well as top researchers such as Maxime Labonne to design the toughest GenAI test

Why "Impossible"?

Because "The Test That Will Make You Question Your Life Choices" was too long.

We go beyond theoretical knowledge, we will challenge you with questions on real-world scenarios, cutting-edge research, and practical applications. This test is designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in Generative AI, ensuring that only those with true mastery can pass it.

Why Bother?

Time is money. Why should I take this test?

  • Prove Yourself

    Many call themselves an AI Engineer. Are you, truly?

    So you're a carbon-based intelligence. Prove you’re smarter than your cat (that’s smarter than an LLM)

  • Stand out from the Crowd

    Everyone 'does AI'. Show that you truly understand it

    Join an elite group of certified AI experts, and recognition from top companies in the tech industry

  • Understand Gaps in Your Knowledge

    Across 6 subfields

    Validate your expertise against a rigorous set of questions designed to probe your true level of understanding of GenAI by industry leading professionals

Can You Pass the Impossible GenAI Test?

How is Test Structured?

The Impossible GenAI Test covers six crucial areas of Generative AI, each containing 5 randomly selected questions. Each section features a mix of question types, including multiple-choice, true/false, scenario-based questions, and pseudocode challenges.

  • Foundational Knowledge

  • Model Training and Fine-Tuning

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

  • Model Inference and Deployment

  • Evaluation and Observability

  • Ethical and Practical Considerations

How it Works?

Test Mechanics

  • The Basics

    Each of the 25 questions has one or more correct answers. It also has three levels of complexity. You have to provide an answer to every question. You'll have 40 minutes total to take the test

  • Score Calculation

    If you don't reply correctly, we will substract -1*(complexity score; 1, 1.5, or 2) from your total score. The harder the question, the more you can get from answering it, and the more you stand to lose from failing it.

  • Results

    For each of the 6 chapters, you will get a detailed score and a pass/fail. You can only pass the test if you get more than 80% from the test, and don't get a fail from any of the sections.

How it Works?

Test Mechanics

Each of the 30 questions has one or more correct answers. If you don't reply correctly, you get a negative point based on the questions complexity (1, 1.5, or 2 for the hardest). You have to score above 75% in each chapter to pass the test.

The Impossible GenAI Test FAQs

  • Can I retake the test?

    We allow you to retake the test only two more times. However, we suggest you take the test in a few months' time, so that you can improve your skills and the knowledge.

  • What type of questions should I expect?

    Expect multiple choice questions, as well as questions where multiple answers are possible. You will also face questions for which you'd need to code. You'll have only 90 seconds per question, so use your time wisely.

  • Can I just use GenAI to pass the test?

    Now this wouldn't be fun, would it? We encourage you to attempt to take the test yourself. Industry-leading models are currently failing the test, so GenAI won't be of much help, either.

  • Is the test free?

    Yes, the test is absolutely free. We encourage you to share it with your friends and colleagues to see how you perform!

  • Will I get a certificate upon completion?

    You can use the end screen of the test as a confirmation of your score. We will publish a leaderboard with your nickname that you can also refer people to! For certifications, please check out our other courses at learn.activeloop.ai

Industry Leaders on the Course

“AI technologies advance rapidly, so The Impossible GenAI Test is a much-needed tool for identifying top talent. It cuts through the noise, enabling executives to see if their team not only commands GenAI fundamentals, but also excels in tackling its complex production challenges. At Intel, we see this tool as vital for identifying GenAI talent capable of transforming cutting-edge concepts into scalable real-world solutions, driving responsible AI adoption across industries.”

CTO - Enterprise Analytics & AI, Head of Strategy and M&A - Enterprise & Cloud (CSV Group) at Intel Corporation

“Everyone calls themselves an AI Engineer. But can they actually engineer AI solutions? That's an open-ended question we see companies struggle with for the past year or two. That's why we decided to tackle this with a super tough test, developed in partnership with top AI specialists on the market.”

Davit Buniatyan, CEO Activeloop

“We're passionate about educating and upskilling engineers in this rapidly growing field. The Impossible GenAI Test helps identify possible gaps in knowledge, so test takers can focus on improving their knowledge in a particular area to become a better AI specialist!”

Louie Peters, CEO Towards AI
