EU GPAI Code of Practice: What Signatories Commit to Under the AI Act

The European Union's voluntary states that the signatory process and public information continue to be updated.

What the GPAI Code of Practice covers

The code is designed for providers of general-purpose AI models, a category that can include models used across multiple downstream applications. Rather than creating a separate legal regime, it is intended to help providers demonstrate how they can meet relevant , the count is less useful than the scope of a supplier's participation. A provider's adherence to one chapter, several chapters, or the full code can affect the evidence available for vendor assessments. It can also indicate how actively the provider is preparing for the AI Act's requirements.

What this means for AI procurement and governance

The GPAI code is a useful governance signal, but it should be treated as one input in a broader due-diligence process. Enterprise buyers still need to assess the particular model, intended use case, contractual terms, available documentation, and internal controls.

In practice, teams evaluating an AI provider can use code participation to frame more specific questions:

• Which GPAI Code chapters has the provider signed?


• What model documentation and that connect supplier evaluation with practical deployment controls.

  Have 190 organisations signed the EU GPAI Code of Practice?

  
  
  

  Official EU sources for the GPAI code do not support that figure. Public material has described a substantially smaller, growing group of providers, including early references to more than 23 providers.

  No. Participation can differ by chapter. Available information notes that xAI signed the Safety and Security chapter only.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  Conclusion
  

  
  
  

  The EU GPAI Code of Practice is a meaningful voluntary compliance framework for general-purpose AI providers, particularly because it connects transparency, copyright, and safety commitments to the AI Act. Its signatory roster is important, but buyers should verify each provider's specific chapter participation and supporting documentation rather than relying on an unsupported headline total.
