Improve Tool / Image Recognition Model Training

Problem Overview

OpenAI has a product feature where users upload photos of real-world tools (e.g., hardware, equipment) and ask the model to identify them. Because the model has not been trained on many of these tool images, its predictions are often poor. Design a system to: (1) identify which images and model…

• 4 candidate-reported follow-ups — the exact probes interviewers asked, with the trigger for each
• The rest of the problem statement — full requirements, constraints, and edge cases
• Approach and trade-offs — what passing candidates did, and the mistakes that sink people
