Why License Compliance Checker exists
Obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models
Article 53 has been applicable since 2 August 2025 (Art. 113(b)). GPAI providers placing models on the EU market today owe four things. Technical documentation (53(1)(a)). Downstream-provider information packs (53(1)(b), Annex XII). A copyright-compliance policy aligned with Directive (EU) 2019/790 Article 4(3) (53(1)(c)), plus a public training-data summary on the AI Office template (53(1)(d)). Commission-imposed fines under Article 101 are excluded from the 2025-08-02 date by Art. 113(b); they become exercisable on 2 August 2026, at up to €15M or 3% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Transitional regime per Art. 111(3): GPAI models placed on the EU market before 2 August 2025 have until 2 August 2027 to comply. The operational reality is simpler to state than to meet. The copyright-policy and training-data-summary obligations require auditable evidence at the dataset level, not assertions in a model card.
