Guidelines on obligations for General-Purpose AI providers - Questions & Answers

Q&A on the guidelines for providers of general-purpose AI models. The document makes concrete the indicative computational threshold of 10^23 FLOP as a starting point for the question of whether something is a general-purpose AI model, with the nuance that a model above that threshold might nevertheless fall outside the definition if it lacks genuine generality. It further explains when a party that adapts an existing model itself becomes a provider, with the rule of thumb that more than one third of the original training computational capacity is used. The scope of the open-source exception is also defined. The date 11 November 2025 appears as last updated at the bottom of the page.
