What do we know today?
Article 101 allows sanctions against general-purpose AI model providers; an independently frozen first-fine baseline is still required.
Enforcement is more verifiable than policy promises.
How would this milestone be resolved?
What qualifies as YES
The Commission formally adopts an Article 101 fine between 27 October 2026 and 27 October 2027 inclusive, evidenced by an official decision or register.
What qualifies as NO
No qualifying decision after review of the official legal decisions record and publication delays.
What would not qualify?
National fines, warnings, letters, requests for information or draft sanctions do not qualify.
Unresolved definition gate
Independently check baseline for earlier decisions and decide how to handle adoption versus publication timing.
Consequence: the original research draft did not yet have a prospectively registered official numerical vintage. That original remains historic; the newer 20% official version defines prospective outcome evidence separately.
Why does it matter?
Enforcement is more verifiable than policy promises. Article 101 allows sanctions against general-purpose AI model providers; an independently frozen first-fine baseline is still required.
Interpretation limit: Enforcement is more verifiable than policy promises. An individual benchmark or adoption result is not proof of AGI or a universal model capability.
