It's true that Mistral's big win doesn't make the AI Act viable for everyone; that 21 billion is for one company with a lot of lawyers, after all. But even with fresh eyes, the valuation does show that big money still sees a path forward under the Act, even if it's not a clear one for smaller outfits. The real sticking point, for me, is if we're even allowed to debate the Act's viability in the first place, given it's already got political momentum now.
