As anecdotal evidence, it serves my complex-enough purposes very well - mathematics and code interspersed together. One of my "litmus test" papers is this old paper on a Fortran inverse-Laplace transform algorithm [1] that intersperses inline and display equations, and monospace code blocks, while requiring OCR from scratch, and very few models currently do a satisfactory job, i.e. in the following page transcribed by Marker,

the inline $\sigma_0$ is mangled as "<sup>s</sup> 0", and $f(t)$ is mangled as "f~~t*!". The current model gets them both correct.

Hi, author of marker here - I tried your image, and I don't see the issues you're describing with the newest version of marker (1.7.5).

I ran both with no setting specified, and with force_ocr, and I didn't see the issues either time.
