Field notes

The homepage describes a word-pair sentence completer built in about 40 lines of JavaScript, with no server or API key. Other project notes include a 22M-parameter MiniLM trained on a laptop CPU in 36 seconds and a fifty-question comparison where four models scored between 29 and 47. The GEO MVP Tracker is readable by anyone, while editing is reserved for its creator.
