# Recital (89)

> This recital applies to the European Union regulatory framework for Artificial Intelligence.

## Introduction

Third parties making AI tools, services, processes, or components available to the public—excluding general-purpose AI models—should not be subject to compliance requirements unless they are integrated into high-risk AI systems.

## Content

Third parties making accessible to the public tools, services, processes, or AI components other than general-purpose AI models, should not be mandated to comply with requirements targeting the responsibilities along the AI value chain, in particular towards the provider that has used or integrated them, when those tools, services, processes, or AI components are made accessible under a free and open-source licence. Developers of free and open-source tools, services, processes, or AI components other than general-purpose AI models should be encouraged to implement widely adopted documentation practices, such as model cards and data sheets, as a way to accelerate information sharing along the AI value chain, allowing the promotion of trustworthy AI systems in the Union.
