AI developers, users see EU’s guidelines on general-purpose AI models
MLex: The European Commission published on 18 July 2025 its guidelines on the EU AI Act’s rules for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, setting out its interpretation of the provisions’ scope, key concepts and application. The document outlines compute thresholds for defining a model as GPAI, and for when a modification constitutes the creation of a new model. It also explains when a model is considered as placed in the EU market, which models will fall under the open-source exception and how the requirements will be applied to models already on the market.
