PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY — ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION, NOT THE OFFICIAL TEXT

A provider whose model crosses the compute-based threshold must notify the Commission within two weeks. It may argue that, despite meeting the threshold, the model's specific features mean it poses no systemic risk; where the Commission finds those arguments unconvincing, the systemic-risk classification stands. The Commission can also designate models on its own initiative and must publish and maintain a list. Designated providers may request reassessment no sooner than six months afterwards.
