General-purpose AI (GPAI) model

An AI model that is capable of performing a wide range of tasks and can be integrated into various downstream AI systems and applications. These models are often foundational, meaning they can be adapted to numerous specific uses across different domains, such as natural language processing, image recognition, and data analysis.

AI models, including large language models, capable of performing a broad range of distinct tasks, even those for which they were not explicitly trained; providers of GPAI are subject to specific transparency, documentation, and additional obligations where they pose systemic risk.

Models intended to perform a wide range of tasks across domains rather than a narrowly defined function; the Refresh recognises GPAI as a distinct category requiring tailored oversight and alignment with EU-level measures due to their broad capabilities and impacts.

Powerful AI models capable of performing a wide range of tasks, which can underpin various AI systems and may carry systemic risks, necessitating specific obligations for their providers, especially those with significant computational power or widespread impact.
