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 Om-Alve/smolGPT, 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
2 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highabout#1Add a concise description to the repository's About section
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXA minimal PyTorch implementation for training small LLMs from scratch, designed for educational purposes and simplicity, featuring efficient training, flash attention, and modern sampling techniques.
- mediumreadme#2Add a 'Why smolGPT?' or 'Comparison' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Why smolGPT? 🤔 While other excellent LLM implementations exist, smolGPT stands out for its **extreme minimalism and educational focus**. It provides a bare-bones, from-scratch implementation of a GPT model to illustrate its fundamental architecture and workings, prioritizing clarity and hackability over production readiness or extensive feature sets. It's ideal for learning and experimenting with modern LLM concepts.
