This seems like a pricing hack that burns resources, that when the loophole gets closed the price of OCR will have to rise?
It’s not a loophole, it just happens that encoding information as optical tokens is much more efficient than text.
there's also a DeepSeek whitepaper on this technique https://www.seangoedecke.com/text-tokens-as-image-tokens
