The interviewee called me, and asked me what machine learning models I know. I told her like every model that I have heard of and explained quite well (in my idea).
Then she asked a simple programming language just to have asked something.
I suspected she is not serious about it. My guess was correct and after a day or two I received a rejection email with no explanation of what was wrong!

Applied for Amazon AGI. After first round, it will go into full round of multiple interviews. Lots of modern LLM training technic questions. There are still some behavioral questions, but less than general Amazon roles.
Interviewed with 1 phone screen, 1 coding, 2 ml design and 2 lp rounds. Most questions were non-leetcode questions more related to day to day ml implementations. The questions were very practical.
