- Condition | allApplies where the model qualifies as a general-purpose AI model within the meaning of Article 3(63), its provider is established in a third country, and that model is placed on the Union market. The appointment is made by written mandate within the meaning of Article 3(5), which is not only given but also accepted, and it is made before the model is placed on the market. The moment at which the latter occurs is fixed less sharply for a model than for a system; see the editorial interpretation.
- Condition | any ofFor models placed on the market from 2 August 2025, the appointment duty applies from that moment. Providers of models placed on the market before 2 August 2025 shall, under Article 111(3), take the necessary steps to comply with the obligations of the Regulation by 2 August 2027.
- ExceptionParagraph 6 excludes the obligation for providers of AI models 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. That exception falls away as soon as the model presents a systemic risk. Whether a given release qualifies is a factual test that has not been settled anywhere; we read it narrowly, so a partially public release does not qualify.
As long as this exception is not ruled out, the outcome stays conditional and you have to establish it yourself.
