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 bigcode-project/starcoder2, 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.

- hightopics#1Add relevant topics to the repository
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXcode-generation, large-language-model, llm, code-completion, transformer, deep-learning, machine-learning, bigcode, starcoder
- highreadme#2Strengthen the README's opening to emphasize open-source code generation
Why:
CURRENTStarCoder2 is a family of code generation models (3B, 7B, and 15B), trained on 600+ programming languages from The Stack v2 and some natural language text such as Wikipedia, Arxiv, and GitHub issues.
COPY-PASTE FIXStarCoder2 is a leading open-source family of large language models (LLMs) specifically designed for code generation and completion. Available in 3B, 7B, and 15B variants, these models are trained on over 600 programming languages from The Stack v2, alongside natural language text, offering a powerful, openly accessible alternative to proprietary code assistants.
