In this May 30, 2020 Reddit AMA reply, Albini includes a link to an image of the light/medium gauge Copper Flex, saying he has been using it “lately.”

KyserSoze94 According to Wikipedia, the way you get your guitar sound is from playing a guitar with a metal fret board and using a pick with sheet metal clippings. I’ve seen pictures of your guitar but I’ve never been able to find a picture of the described pick. Do you have a picture of it or at least able to describe it better?

steve_albini I use thin tempered copper picks, used to be Hotlix .07 [sic] but lately these ones: https://media.musiciansfriend.com/is/image/MMGS7/Copper-Flex-Guitar-Picks-3-Pack-Light-3-Pack/117500000950170-00-500x500.jpg

but I have my friend Terry Straker from Guitar Works punch the ends with a metal punch so they have a little notch in the tip. Imagine a little dot, about 1/8-inch at the very tip of that guitar pick making two little horns. That's what I play, and why the top of my guitar is so fucked up.

“Ice picks with the points cut off” is also listed under the “Picks & Strings” section of Albini’s gear summary in this March 1, 2024 Premier Guitar interview.
