Not much. It only needs to have support for our screwball 4G LTE/5G frequency bands, which are different from the rest of the world Because Reasons (well, some of the bands are, anyway, especially for 4G).
That’s interesting, because my phone is definitely not from ATT and my cell service is US Mobile (which is a reseller of ATT). I connect to ATT towers all the time.
Not entirely sure, but if you are on ATT prepaid there is a bs list of phones that are supported, and while I’ve heard of ways of bypassing it they can revoke your phone randomly. I’m pretty sure it applies to most ATT stuff, but I suspect the main idea is that priority traffic is gatekeeped.

From their specs, it looks pretty comprehensive:
This should work pretty well with Verizon or AT&T. It’ll work with T-Mobile, too, but it’s missing support for just one of their 5G bands (71).
The lack of support for band n71 will mean no service in a lot of rural areas on T-Mobile.
So, what else is new in other words.
That being said, ATT has a whitelist for phones on its network, so that should be noted.

I wonder how that works today.

Double plus good comrade, thank you
