(e) the versions of relevant software related to the use of the general-purpose AI model, where applicable;

(f) the architecture and number of parameters;

(g) the modality (e.g. text, image) and format of inputs and outputs;

(h) the licence for the model.

2. A description of the elements of the model and of the process for its development, including:
