On August 2, 2026, the European Commission's enforcement powers against General-Purpose AI (GPAI) model providers under Regulation 2024/1689 (EU AI Act) will become fully effective. While GPAI model obligations have applied since August 2, 2025, providers received a one-year adjustment period before supervisory enforcement began. The Commission's powers include the authority to request documentation, conduct evaluations, require compliance measures, and impose fines up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover. Providers must maintain technical documentation including training and testing processes, draw up transparency reports, and for models meeting the 10^25 FLOPs threshold, submit systemic risk assessments. Major model providers like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic must comply with these requirements. Artificial Intelligence Act Service Desk reported the core details. Legiscope noted additional context.
