GBL § 1421
A large frontier developer must publish a frontier AI framework; before deploying a model, every frontier developer must publish a transparency report.
Section 1421 is the heart of the article. A large frontier developer must write, implement, comply with, and conspicuously publish a frontier AI framework describing how it: incorporates national/international standards; defines thresholds to identify whether a model poses catastrophic risk; applies and reviews mitigations; uses third parties to assess risk; updates the framework; secures unreleased model weights; institutes internal governance; identifies and responds to critical safety incidents; and assesses catastrophic risk from internal use. The framework is reviewed at least annually, and a material modification must be published with a justification within thirty days. Separately, before deploying a new or substantially modified frontier model, a frontier developer must publish a transparency report (developer contact, release date, supported languages and output modalities, intended uses, use restrictions, and summaries of the catastrophic-risk assessments). Publishing this in a system card or model card is deemed compliant. Redactions are allowed to protect trade secrets, cybersecurity, public safety, or national security, with the unredacted version retained for five years.
