A user is seeking advice on building a free, offline LLM-powered tutor for students, designed to run on a laptop and be grounded in a single textbook. The primary challenge involves determining the best architecture, with a focus on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for content grounding and citation, while considering the role of LoRA for stylistic or pedagogical adjustments. Key questions revolve around optimal small models for RAG, effective textbook chunking strategies, the added value of LoRA, methods for directing users to specific information within the book, and user-friendly packaging solutions for non-technical students.
