In general, any new research from OpenAI that is subsequently quickly replicated by the actual open source community (e.g. Latent Consistency Models for a recent example). They have put out research that hasn't gone anywhere in the past - which is why I suggest waiting until the open source community or other AI startups start to copy them on that specific research. Another group that is important to watch is any of the members from the `CompVis` group that originally developed VQGAN and Latent Diffusion models. Although I'm uncertain how much of the team remains as many seem to have realized they can do more research (and make some more money) by working at the various research labs popping up.
