It's not OSS, but I've had good experiences with using MathPix's API for OCR for formulas



nougat, donut are OSS. There are no OSS vision models but we will soon have them. MathPix API are also not OSS and I found them expensive compared to vision models.

Mathpix Markdown however is awesome and I ask LLMs to use that to denote formulas as latex is tricky to render in HTML because of things not matching. I don't know latex well so haven't gone deeper on it.
