DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 is cheaper still (93% less) but drops no image, file input.

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
