Claim LD01-SL-C36 (v1.0)
The European Commission’s guidelines note that the AI Act’s definition of a “general-purpose AI model” “does not set out specific criteria” and adopt an indicative criterion: training compute above 10²³ FLOP and the ability to generate language, images or video, while calling compute “an imperfect proxy for generality and capabilities.”
