• Abstract: This paper presents TAMUSA-Chat, a research-oriented framework for building domain-adapted large language model conversational systems. The work addresses critical challenges in adapting general-purpose foundation models to institutional contexts through supervised fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, and systematic evaluation methodologies. We describe the complete architecture encompassing data acquisition from institutional sources, preprocessing pipelines, embedding construction, model training workflows, and deployment strategies. The system integrates modular components enabling reproducible experimentation with training configurations, hyper-parameters, and evaluation protocols. Our implementation demonstrates how academic institutions can develop contextually grounded conversational agents while maintaining transparency, governance compliance, and responsible AI practices. Through empirical analysis of fine-tuning behavior across model sizes and training iterations, we provide insights into domain adaptation efficiency, computational resource requirements, and quality-cost trade-offs. The publicly available codebase at https://github.com/alsmadi/TAMUSA_LLM_Based_Chat_app supports continued research into institutional LLM deployment, evaluation methodologies, and ethical considerations for educational AI systems.

  Large language model (LLM)-based agents are increasingly used in interactive textual environments.<n>Many remain largely reactive, mapping observations to actions without an explicit model of how these environments are structured and evolve.<n>This motivates text world models (TWMs): transition models over textual states that, given a state and a candidate action, predict the resulting webpage, terminal output, API response, or user reply.<n>We systematically review text world models for LLM-based agents, organized around a formal framework and the agent lifecycle.

  We introduce the RADDLE benchmark, a collection of corpora and tools for evaluating the performance of models across a diverse set of domains. RADDLE is designed to favor and encourage models with a strong generalization ability. We evaluate recent state-of-the-art systems based on pre-training and fine-tuning, and find that grounded pre-training on heterogeneous dialog corpora performs better than training a separate model per domain.
