I see that OVH offers Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, which is a bit surprising to me. I thought that EU providers had to comply with the AI act where you have to provide opt-out and information about the training data once the model is sufficiently large (over 10^23 FLOPs, likely the case here), but providing information is not possible since people who train those models only give vague information at best.

Does anyone know if OVH is ignoring the law here, or whether it does not apply for some reason?

OVH is acting as a "Deployer", not a "Provider", which have special meaning under the AI Act.

There are much less (almost no) disclosure regulations on the deployer.

Pretty convenient, it must be noted, for a market that does not have any meaningful home grown models.

What are you talking about? Le Chaton Fat is the best 30T model no the planet!

Which law is that?

Not doubting you — just want to read it!


Article 53 of the AI Act: https://ai-act-law.eu/article/53/

The definition of a "genral-purpose AI model" is described in more detail in the "Guidelines on the scope of obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models under the AI Act": https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/11834...


Thanks, v. interesting.

Does not apply to oss models

Does it not apply to hosting and running them for money? How would it not?

It focuses on training and data provenance, rather than serving.
