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 Blaizzy/mlx-vlm, 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.

3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition README's opening to emphasize specialized VLM package
Why:
CURRENTMLX-VLM is a package for inference and fine-tuning of Vision Language Models (VLMs) and Omni Models (VLMs with audio and video support) on your Mac using MLX.
COPY-PASTE FIXMLX-VLM is the **batteries-included package** for **efficient inference and fine-tuning of Vision Language Models (VLMs) and Omni Models** (VLMs with audio and video support) directly on your Mac, leveraging Apple's MLX framework. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools, from CLI and Gradio UI to a FastAPI server, specifically optimized for Apple Silicon.
- mediumhomepage#2Add repository URL as homepage
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXhttps://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm
- lowreadme#3Add a 'Why MLX-VLM?' section to highlight differentiators
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Why Choose MLX-VLM? MLX-VLM goes beyond foundational MLX by offering a complete, optimized package specifically for Vision Language Models on Apple Silicon. Key differentiators include: - **Comprehensive Tooling:** Integrated CLI, Gradio UI, and FastAPI server for easy deployment. - **Multi-Image Chat:** Native support for complex multi-image conversations. - **Performance Optimizations:** Built-in speculative decoding, continuous batching, and KV cache quantization. - **Simplified Fine-tuning:** Streamlined workflows for adapting VLMs.
