A covered development event occurs when a covered developer begins a covered training run that is reasonably expected, at the time it begins, to involve a covered compute expenditure meeting or exceeding the threshold established in subsection (b). [...] The threshold established under this Act is 10^26 floating-point operations, measured across the full duration of a single covered training run. [...] The Independent Examiner may require a covered developer to produce any provenance record, compute attestation record, or other record required under this Act.
