Overview of Guidelines for GPAI Models

Summary

On 18 July 2025, the European Commission published draft Guidelines clarifying provisions of the EU AI Act for General Purpose AI (GPAI) models. The Guidelines set the compute threshold of more than 10²³ FLOPs for GPAI classification and 10²⁵ FLOPs for systemic-risk models, and they require providers to notify the Commission within two weeks of reaching that threshold. Once translated into all EU languages, the Guidelines will be formally adopted.
