Know when you become a model provider

How to do it

The duties for general-purpose AI models have applied since 2 August 2025. They cover technical documentation, information for the companies that build on the model, a copyright policy and a public summary of the training content. Models placed on the market before that date must comply by 2 August 2027. Calling a vendor's model through an API does not make you a model provider. The Commission's July 2025 guidelines presume that fine-tuning becomes a new model when it uses more than a third of the original training compute. Keep the vendor's model documentation either way, because your own system's duties rely on it.

How to check

The register holds a gpai_provider decision with a date for every model you train or fine-tune. Each one with a yes links its technical documentation, copyright policy and published training summary.
