ANNEX XII
Transparency information referred to in Article 53(1), point (b) — technical documentation for providers of general-purpose AI models to downstream providers that integrate the model into their AI system
The information referred to in Article 53(1), point (b) shall contain at least the following:
|
1.
|
A general description of the general-purpose AI model including:
|
(a)
|
the tasks that the model is intended to perform and the type and nature of AI systems into which it can be integrated;
|
|
(b)
|
the acceptable use policies applicable;
|
|
(c)
|
the date of release and methods of distribution;
|
|
(d)
|
how the model interacts, or can be used to interact, with hardware or software that is not part of the model itself, where applicable;
|
|
(e)
|
the versions of relevant software related to the use of the general-purpose AI model, where applicable;
|
|
(f)
|
the architecture and number of parameters;
|
|
(g)
|
the modality (e.g. text, image) and format of inputs and outputs;
|
|
(h)
|
the licence for the model.
|
|
|
2.
|
A description of the elements of the model and of the process for its development, including:
|
(a)
|
the technical means (e.g. instructions for use, infrastructure, tools) required for the general-purpose AI model to be integrated into AI systems;
|
|
(b)
|
the modality (e.g. text, image, etc.) and format of the inputs and outputs and their maximum size (e.g. context window length, etc.);
|
|
(c)
|
information on the data used for training, testing and validation, where applicable, including the type and provenance of data and curation methodologies.

Providers of general-purpose AI models have a particular role and
responsibility along the AI value chain, as the models they provide may form the basis for
a range of downstream systems, often provided by downstream providers that necessitate
a good understanding of the models and their capabilities, both to enable the integration
of such models into their products, and to fulfil their obligations under this or other
regulations. Therefore, proportionate transparency measures should be laid down, including the
drawing up and keeping up to date of documentation, and the provision of information on the
general-purpose AI model for its usage by the downstream providers. Technical documentation
should be prepared and kept up to date by the general-purpose AI model provider for the purpose
of making it available, upon request, to the AI Office and the national competent authorities.
The minimal set of elements to be included in such documentation should be set out in specific
annexes to this Regulation. The Commission should be empowered to amend those annexes by means
of delegated acts in light of evolving technological developments.
