NFTChen's test shows DeepSeek V4.1 Flash multimodal OCR achieves 6 errors + 1 miss on 270-character running script, tying GLM 5.3 Flash and Gemini 3.1 Pro; Kimi2.6 scores perfect, Qwen3.8-Max 5 errors. Speed: native multimodal stable at 260 tok/s (old version 100-150), single-image OCR under 3s with thinking off, others 15-50s. Cost-wise, Kimi/Qwen/GLM are accurate but expensive; DeepSeek V4.1 Flash after price cut balances accuracy and cost, ideal for large-scale ancient text OCR. Also, DeepSeek V4 Pro was replaced by V4.1 Flash after just 28 days, with Pro requests now routed to Flash pricing.
