Consolidated text of 27 July 2026. Retrieved 30 October 2026.

## Official text

For the purpose of determining that a general-purpose AI model has capabilities or an impact equivalent to those set out in Article 51(1), point (a), the Commission shall take into account the following criteria:

#### Annex XIII(a)

**(a)** the number of parameters of the model;

#### Annex XIII(b)

**(b)** the quality or size of the data set, for example measured through tokens;

#### Annex XIII(c)

**(c)** the amount of computation used for training the model, measured in floating point operations or indicated by a combination of other variables such as estimated cost of training, estimated time required for the training, or estimated energy consumption for the training;

#### Annex XIII(d)

**(d)** the input and output modalities of the model, such as text to text (large language models), text to image, multi-modality, and the state of the art thresholds for determining high-impact capabilities for each modality, and the specific type of inputs and outputs (e.g. biological sequences);

#### Annex XIII(e)

**(e)** the benchmarks and evaluations of capabilities of the model, including considering the number of tasks without additional training, adaptability to learn new, distinct tasks, its level of autonomy and scalability, the tools it has access to;

#### Annex XIII(f)

**(f)** whether it has a high impact on the internal market due to its reach, which shall be presumed when it has been made available to at least 10 000 registered business users established in the Union;

#### Annex XIII(g)

**(g)** the number of registered end-users.
