The Code already obliges providers of advanced AI models that pose systemic risks to use state-of-the-art evaluation and monitoring tools – which today requires readable CoT – and to demonstrate that any move to a more compute-efficient approach delivers equal or superior safety outcomes. The implication is that a provider switching to an architecture that cannot be monitored through CoT must show, by other means, that oversight has not slipped.
