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 huggingface/pytorch_block_sparse, 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.
- highreadme#1Clarify maintenance status and unique value proposition in README
Why:
CURRENTThe current README doesn't address maintenance status or comparison to modern alternatives like FlashAttention.
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a prominent section (e.g., 'Project Status and Differentiators') to the README. Explicitly state the project's current maintenance status (e.g., 'This project is actively maintained for X purpose' or 'While some newer techniques like FlashAttention address specific attention sparsity, `pytorch_block_sparse` remains a unique solution for general block-sparse linear layers in PyTorch, offering custom CUDA kernels for performance.') and highlight its specific niche (e.g., 'focus on general block-sparse linear layers, distinct from attention-specific optimizations').
- mediumreadme#2Clarify the existing license(s) in the README
Why:
CURRENTThe README does not explicitly state the license(s) that apply to the project.
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a 'License' section to the README, explicitly stating the license(s) under which the project is distributed (e.g., 'This project is licensed under [License Name 1] and [License Name 2]. See the LICENSE file for full details.').
