Perceptron Mk1 models: built to read screenshots and scans

Perceptron lists Mk1 at $0.15 input and $1.50 output per 1M tokens, placing it between the volume and mid tiers.

A single-model vendor with a short public history. The sensible use is as a price comparison point against the established volume models rather than as a default choice.

• Benchmark against a comparable model from a larger vendor before committing production traffic — line-ups this size get less independent testing.
• Start with Perceptron Mk1 at $0.15 / $1.5 per 1M tokens; it is the cheapest entry point here.
• Check the context window against your longest input — the largest here is Perceptron Mk1.5 at 36.9K tokens.
• Confirm support terms and deprecation policy, which smaller vendors document less thoroughly.
