Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface andrewkchan/yalm, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition the README's opening sentence to clarify project identity
Why:
CURRENTyalm (Yet Another Language Model) is an LLM inference implementation in C++/CUDA, using no libraries except to load and save frozen LLM weights.
COPY-PASTE FIXyalm (Yet Another Language Model) is a **C++/CUDA LLM inference engine** with **zero external library dependencies** (beyond I/O), intended as an **educational exercise** in performance engineering and LLM inference implementation. It is *not* a programming language or compiler.
- highlicense#2Add a LICENSE file to the repository
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXCreate a `LICENSE` file in the repository root with your chosen open-source license (e.g., MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0).
- mediumhomepage#3Add a homepage URL to the repository metadata
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXSet the repository's homepage URL to `https://andrewkchan.dev/posts/llm-inference-from-scratch/` (or the most relevant project page).
