GBL § 1420
Defines the regime's key terms — frontier model, frontier developer, large frontier developer, catastrophic risk, critical safety incident.
Section 1420 fixes the vocabulary the rest of Article 44-B runs on. A frontier model is a foundation model trained using more than 10^26 integer or floating-point operations (counting the original training run plus any subsequent fine-tuning or other modification). A foundation model is an AI model trained on a broad data set, designed for generality of output, and adaptable to a wide range of distinct tasks. A frontier developer is a person who has trained — or initiated the training of — a frontier model; a large frontier developer is a frontier developer that, with its affiliates, had annual gross revenues over $500 million in the preceding calendar year. Catastrophic risk and critical safety incident are defined here too (see § 1421/§ 1422). 'Office' means the new office within the Department of Financial Services tasked with implementing the article.
