Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 introduces a separate regime for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models. Article 53 sets four documentation and transparency obligations for every GPAI provider. Article 51 classifies models as having systemic risk when training computation exceeds 10²⁵ floating-point operations, triggering the additional obligations of Article 55 — model evaluations, systemic-risk assessment, serious-incident reporting, and cybersecurity. Free and open-source models benefit from a narrow carve-out under Art. 53(2). Chapter V applies from 2 August 2025; pre-existing GPAI models on the market before that date must comply by 2 August 2027 under Art. 111(3).

Article 53 sets the baseline. Every GPAI provider in scope must meet four obligations. Where the model meets Article 51 thresholds, Article 55 adds four more.
Art. 53(2) exempts free and open-source GPAI providers from points (a) and (b) — the technical documentation and downstream-provider documentation. Points (c) (copyright policy) and (d) (training-data summary) still apply. And the exemption does NOT apply to GPAI models with systemic risks — those carry the full Art. 53 + Art. 55 load regardless of licensing.
No. Integrating someone else's GPAI model into your AI system makes you a provider of the AI system (Art. 3(3)), not a provider of the GPAI model. Your obligations are those of the AI system provider (Art. 16 if high-risk) plus the downstream-user duties enabled by the GPAI provider's Art. 53(1)(b) documentation. The GPAI obligations themselves remain with the model developer.
Art. 51(1)(a) is the presumption path (10²⁵ FLOPs). But Art. 51(1)(b) and Art. 52(4) let the Commission designate a model as systemic-risk ex officio or following a qualified alert from the scientific panel, based on the criteria in Annex XIII — without the FLOPs threshold. A capable smaller model can still be classified as systemic-risk.
