This would be unfortunately a rather nuclear option due to the continent’s insane reliance on technology that breaks its unenforced laws.

How about not making these unenforced laws in the first place so that European companies could actually have a chance at competing? We're going to suffer the externalities of AI either way, but at least there would be a chance that a European company could be relevant.
The AI Act absolutely befuddled me. How could you release relatively strict regulation for a technology that isn't really being used yet and is in the early stages of development? How did they not foresee this kneecapping AI investment and development in Europe? If I were a tinfoil hat wearer I'd probably say that this was intentional sabotage, because this was such an obvious consequence.
Mistral is great, but they haven't kept up with Qwen (at least with Mistral Small 4). Leanstral seems interesting, so we'll have to see how it does.
