# Recital (98)

> The criteria for model generality under the AI Act include, but are not limited to, a threshold of at least one billion parameters combined with training on large-scale data sets using extensive supervision.

## Introduction

This recital clarifies the criteria for determining the generality of an AI model based on its technical specifications.

## Content

Whereas the generality of a model could, inter alia, also be determined by a number of parameters, models with at least a billion of parameters and trained with a large amount of data using self-supervision at scale should be considered to display significant generality and to competently perform a wide range of distinctive tasks.
