• Publish a training-content summary if you provide a general-purpose modelMakes itprovider
• Adopt and follow a copyright policy that respects TDM opt-outsMakes itprovider
• Keep technical documentation available for the AI Office, unless your model is released under a free and open-source licence that allows access, usage, modification and distribution, has its parameters, including the weights, and the information on its architecture and usage made publicly available, and does not carry systemic riskMakes itprovider
• Draw up, keep up to date and make available to providers of AI systems who intend to integrate your general-purpose AI model into their AI systems information and documentation that enables them to have a good understanding of the model's capabilities and limitations and to comply with their own obligations under the Regulation, and that contains at least the elements set out in Annex XII: a general description of the model (its intended tasks and the type and nature of AI systems it can be integrated into, the acceptable use policies, the date of release and methods of distribution, how it interacts with hardware or software that is not part of the model, the versions of relevant software, its architecture and number of parameters, the modality and format of its inputs and outputs, and its licence) and a description of its elements and development process (the technical means required to integrate it, the modality, format and maximum size of its inputs and outputs, and information on the data used for training, testing and validation). This duty is without prejudice to the need to observe and protect intellectual property rights and confidential business information or trade secrets under Union and national law, and it does not apply to a model released under a free and open-source licence that allows access, usage, modification and distribution and whose parameters, including the weights, the information on the model architecture and the information on model usage are made publicly available, unless the model carries systemic risk (Article 53(1), point (b), and Article 53(2)).Makes itprovider
• Make the technical documentation you keep contain at least the information set out in Annex XI, as appropriate to the size and risk profile of the model: a general description of the model (its intended tasks and the type and nature of AI systems it can be integrated into, the acceptable use policies, the date of release and methods of distribution, its architecture and number of parameters, the modality and format of its inputs and outputs, and its licence); a detailed description of its elements and development process (the technical means required to integrate it, the design specifications and training process, information on the data used for training, testing and validation, the computational resources and training time used to train it, and the known or estimated energy consumption of the model, which may be based on information about the computational resources used where the energy consumption is unknown); and, if the model carries systemic risk, the additional Annex XI Section 2 information (a detailed description of the evaluation strategies and results, of the measures put in place for internal or external adversarial testing and of model adaptations, and, where applicable, of the system architecture).Makes itprovider
• Cooperate as necessary with the Commission and the national competent authorities in the exercise of their competences and powers under the Regulation (Article 53(3)).Makes itprovider
• Apply the Article 53 duties from 2 August 2025, when Chapter V starts to apply (Article 113, point (b)). If your general-purpose AI model was placed on the market before 2 August 2025, take the necessary steps to comply with the obligations laid down in the Regulation by 2 August 2027 (Article 111(3)).Makes itprovider

• If you are a provider of a general-purpose AI model established in a third country, appoint by written mandate, before you place the model on the Union market, an authorised representative established in the Union.Makes itprovider
• Enable your authorised representative to perform the tasks specified in the mandate you gave it.Makes itprovider
• Make the mandate empower the authorised representative to verify that the technical documentation specified in Annex XI has been drawn up and that your obligations under Article 53 and, where applicable, Article 55 have been fulfilled. Make it empower the representative to keep a copy of that technical documentation at the disposal of the AI Office and national competent authorities for 10 years after the model has been placed on the market, together with your contact details. Make it empower the representative to provide the AI Office, upon a reasoned request, with all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations in Chapter V, and to cooperate with the AI Office and competent authorities, upon a reasoned request, in any action they take in relation to the model, including when it is integrated into AI systems placed on the market or put into service in the Union.Makes itprovider
• Make the mandate empower the authorised representative to be addressed, in addition to or instead of you, by the AI Office or the competent authorities on all issues related to ensuring compliance with the Regulation.Makes itprovider
• This duty does not apply if your model is released under a free and open-source licence that allows for the access, usage, modification and distribution of the model, and its parameters, including the weights, the information on the model architecture and the information on model usage, are made publicly available, unless your model presents systemic risks.
• If your model was placed on the market before 2 August 2025, take the necessary steps to comply with the obligations laid down in the Regulation by 2 August 2027.Makes itprovider

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 55 · Read the law's page

• If your general-purpose AI model is classified as a model with systemic risk under Article 51, whether by high-impact capabilities (presumed above 10^25 floating-point operations of training) or by a Commission decision, in addition to your Article 53 duties, perform model evaluation using standardised, state-of-the-art protocols and tools, including conducting and documenting adversarial testing to identify and mitigate systemic risks.Makes itprovider
• Assess and mitigate the systemic risks your model may pose at Union level, including where those risks originate, whether in the model's development, its placing on the market, or its use.Makes itprovider
• Keep track of, document, and report to the AI Office, and as appropriate to national competent authorities, without undue delay, relevant information about serious incidents involving your model and any corrective measures you have taken or plan to take. The Regulation states no fixed number of days for this report and no explicit moment its clock starts from, only that it must be made without undue delay.Makes itprovider
• Ensure an adequate level of cybersecurity protection for your model and its physical infrastructure.Makes itprovider
• You may rely on an AI Office code of practice, or a harmonised standard once one is published, to demonstrate compliance with these duties. If you rely on neither, demonstrate an alternative adequate means of compliance instead.Makes itprovider

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Articles 51 and 52, with Annex XIII · Read the law's page

• If you are the provider of a general-purpose AI model that has high impact capabilities, which Article 51(2) presumes when the cumulative amount of computation used for its training is greater than 10^25 floating point operations, notify the Commission without delay and in any event within two weeks after that requirement is met or it becomes known that it will be met, with the information necessary to demonstrate that the requirement has been met.Makes itprovider
• With your notification you may present sufficiently substantiated arguments that, exceptionally, although your model meets that requirement, it does not present systemic risks because of its specific characteristics and so should not be classified as a model with systemic risk. If the Commission concludes that the arguments are not sufficiently substantiated and you were not able to demonstrate this, it rejects them and your model is considered a model with systemic risk.Makes itprovider
• If the Commission designates your model as presenting systemic risks, ex officio or following a qualified alert from the scientific panel, on the basis of the Annex XIII criteria, you may make a reasoned request for reassessment that contains objective, detailed and new reasons that have arisen since the designation decision, at the earliest six months after that decision and, where the Commission maintains the designation, at the earliest six months after the decision that maintains it.Makes itprovider
• If your model was placed on the market before 2 August 2025, take the necessary steps to comply with the obligations laid down in the Regulation by 2 August 2027.Makes itprovider

A lawyer duly authorised to act may supply it on your behalf, and you remain fully responsible if it is incomplete, incorrect or misleading.Makes itprovider
• If the Commission requests, for an evaluation under Article 92, access to your model through APIs or further appropriate technical means and tools, including source code, provide the access within the period stated in the request, or have your representative or the persons authorised to represent you provide it on your behalf.Makes itprovider
• If the Commission requests under Article 93(1) that you take appropriate measures to comply with Articles 53 and 54, implement mitigation measures where an evaluation has given rise to serious and substantiated concern of a systemic risk at Union level, or restrict the making available on the market, withdraw or recall your model, comply with the measure requested.Makes itprovider
• If you provide a model with systemic risk, you may offer commitments to implement mitigation measures to address a systemic risk at Union level during the structured dialogue the AI Office may initiate before a measure is requested. The Commission may, by decision, make them binding and declare that there are no further grounds for action.Makes itprovider
• You have the procedural rights that Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 gives economic operators, applied mutatis mutandis. Before the Commission fines you under Article 101 it must communicate its preliminary findings to you and give you an opportunity to be heard.Makes itprovider
