1. Assigning each downstream application its own CE mark before any provider may integrate the general model at all.

   Plausible but wrong: CE marking applies to certain products, not to the GPAI provider's own model obligations.
2. Maintaining technical documentation, a copyright policy, and a sufficiently detailed summary of the training data used. ✓

   Correct: these are core obligations the Act places on providers of general-purpose AI models.
3. Guaranteeing the model's outputs are fully deterministic so that identical prompts always return byte-identical results.

   Wrong: determinism is not required, and AI outputs are inherently probabilistic.
4. Obtaining prior individual authorization from the AI Office for every commercial use of the model by any customer.

   Wrong: there is no per-use authorization requirement for GPAI models.

How to remember it

GPAI model providers must keep technical documentation, adopt a copyright policy, and publish a training-data summary.
