It works remarkably well. However for my purposes I don’t want a LLM explaining charts I want it to produce a vector format of the chart. There are a few models that produce Latex chart formats I’m experimenting with: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.15306 Most OCR pipelines like this, along with excellent commercial ones like doctly.ai, are focused on OCR for LLM consumption - while I’d like to be able to recreate the original scientific work that predates digital typesetting in modern typeset - for yes…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2405.15306/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
