It is also necessary to clarify a procedure for the classification of a general-purpose AI model with systemic risks. 
A general-purpose AI model that meets the applicable threshold for high-impact capabilities should be presumed to 
be a general-purpose AI models with systemic risk. The provider should notify the AI Office at the latest two weeks 
after the requirements are met or it becomes known that a general-purpose AI model will meet the requirements 
that lead to the presumption. This is especially relevant in relation to the threshold of floating point operations 
because training of general-purpose AI models takes considerable planning which includes the upfront allocation of 
compute resources and, therefore, providers of general-purpose AI models are able to know if their model would 
meet the threshold before the training is completed. In the context of that notification, the provider should be able to 
demonstrate that, because of its specific characteristics, a general-purpose AI model exceptionally does not present 
systemic risks, and that it thus should not be classified as a general-purpose AI model with systemic risks. That 
information is valuable for the AI Office to anticipate the placing on the market of general-purpose AI models with 
systemic risks and the providers can start to engage with the AI Office early on. That information is especially 

important with regard to general-purpose AI models that are planned to be released as open-source, given that, after 
the open-source model release, necessary measures to ensure compliance with the obligations under this Regulation 
may be more difficult to implement.
