Design an Embedding and Classification API

Problem Overview

Design the API and pipeline around two black-box model services, one that returns embeddings and one that classifies. The reports name low latency, high throughput and cost: one reads as choosing either a high-throughput endpoint or a low-latency one, another as one system that supports both, so ask which. One…

• 1 candidate-reported follow-up — 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
