1. Transparency Obligations. Provide the documentation required under the transparency obligations of California SB 942: AI Transparency Act (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22757.2(a) (added by SB 942) — a covered provider must make available, free and publicly accessible, an AI detection tool that lets a user assess whether image/video/audio content was created or altered by that provider's GenAI system; reinforced by § 22757.3(a) manifest-disclosure user option) — including (as applicable) model card, system card, training-data summary, evaluation results, and known limitations.

2. Open-Weight Frontier Release. Are the model weights powering the offered system released under an open-weight licence? If yes, identify the licence + any restrictions under California SB 942: AI Transparency Act (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22757.3(c) (added by SB 942, operative Aug. 2, 2026) — a covered provider that LICENSES its GenAI system to a third party must require by contract that the licensee preserve the § 22757.3(b) disclosure capability, and must revoke the license within 96 hours if the licensee disables it; reinforced by § 22757.3.2 (added by AB 853, operative Jan. 1, 2027), which bars a GenAI hosting platform distributing a system's source code or model weights from knowingly hosting a non-disclosing system).

3. Synthetic Content Provenance. Does the offered system generate or substantially modify audio / video / image / text in ways requiring disclosure or machine-readable provenance under California SB 942: AI Transparency Act (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22757.3(b) (added by SB 942) — a covered provider must embed a machine-readable 'latent' disclosure in AI-generated image/video/audio conveying provenance metadata: provider name, GenAI system name and version, creation/alteration time, and a unique identifier; reinforced by § 22757.3.1 (AB 853, operative 2027) barring large online platforms from knowingly stripping system provenance data)? Describe the disclosure + provenance mechanisms implemented and their robustness against removal.
