Frequently asked questions

What does Annex XII of the AI Act regulate?

Annex XII describes the transparency information that GPAI model providers must provide to downstream providers integrating the model into their AI systems, under Article 53(1)(b).

What is the difference between Annex XI and Annex XII?

Annex XI contains the full technical documentation for the provider itself. Annex XII contains the information that must be shared with downstream providers integrating the GPAI model into their own AI systems.

What information must I share with downstream providers?

Annex XII requires two main sections: (1) general model description (tasks, usage policies, release date, architecture, parameters, modalities, licence), and (2) description of integration means, input/output specifications and data information.

Do I need to document the maximum context size?

Yes, point 2b of Annex XII requires information on the modality and format of inputs and outputs, including their maximum size (such as context window length).

Is Annex XII relevant if I offer an open-source model?

Yes, Annex XII applies to all GPAI model providers making their model available to downstream providers, regardless of whether the model is open-source or proprietary. The transparency obligations of Article 53 apply broadly.

Do I need to share my training data with downstream providers?

Point 2c requires information about training, testing and validation data, including type, provenance and curation methods. You don't need to share the data itself, but must provide sufficient information about it.

How do I deliver the Annex XII information?

The AI Act does not prescribe a specific format. In practice, this is often done through model cards, technical documentation or API documentation provided with the model.

Do I need to state the model's licence?

Yes, point 1h of Annex XII explicitly requires that the licence for the model is stated in the transparency information for downstream providers.
