Result: 5.1 seconds of processing at a cost of just $0.09.
The formulas were recognized correctly. The model did not redraw the graph, but this is telling. Most OCR systems simply extract text and lose such elements. OCR 4 recognized the graph, highlighted it as a separate block, and labeled it as a chart. It did not appear as a new rendering, but was accounted for in the document structure.
