Interviews for AI Product Manager roles at companies like Tencent, ByteDance, and DeepSeek reveal a significant knowledge gap regarding retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). While candidates can explain RAG's basic concept of externalizing knowledge, they struggle with practical implementation challenges such as chunk granularity and managing context cost and latency. Senior PMs are expected to understand these complexities, knowing when RAG is appropriate (e.g., for private data and answer verifiability) and when it is not (e.g., poorly structured data, latency constraints, or stable knowledge bases). This indicates a shift towards requiring deeper technical understanding from AI PMs. AI
