huh, what happened? I haven't been following Mistral but I recall it was everyone's up and coming darling, no?

It's about to be bought by Apple, so not for long.

There's quite a gap between “Apple considers buying Mistral” and “they are about to be bought by Apple”.

Yes, a gap of three to six months, or maybe a bit longer if regulators get involved.

Anyway, if Mistral is for sale then if not Apple it'll be another big company.

No, the gap is right in your second sentence:

> if Mistral is for sale

At the moment there's no public information about that, it's all about Apple being interested into buying but we don't know if Mistral is interested into selling at all. That's the gap.

I thought that was perplexity.

I'll take another ten Mistrals thank you.
