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 minimaxir/gpt-2-simple, 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 README to clarify gpt-2-simple's current value proposition
Why:
CURRENTNote: Development on gpt-2-simple has mostly been superceded by aitextgen, which has similar AI text generation capabilities with more efficient training time and resource usage. If you do not require using TensorFlow, I recommend using aitextgen instead. Checkpoints trained using gpt-2-simple can be loaded using aitextgen as well.
COPY-PASTE FIXWhile development on `gpt-2-simple` has largely been superseded by `aitextgen` (which offers more efficient training and resource usage for general AI text generation), `gpt-2-simple` remains valuable for specific use cases: working with existing GPT-2 checkpoints, projects requiring TensorFlow, or educational exploration of the original GPT-2 model architecture. Checkpoints trained using `gpt-2-simple` are fully compatible with `aitextgen`.
