Quick verdict

DeepSeek V4 Flash is cheaper to read and much dearer to write; since the repricing its output costs 16x its input, which makes it a reading model. MiMo-V2.6-Flash is the safer default because the two directions are priced within a factor of two of each other and it accepts media, so a workload that changes shape does not force a migration.
