Scaling requires linear co-scaling of three ingredients

Improving model performance requires linearly scaling up bigger networks, longer training times, and more data together — like a chemical reaction with three reagents; if you scale up one without the others, you run out of the other reagents and the reaction stops.

Evidence Quote

almost like a chemical reaction, you have three ingredients in the chemical reaction and you need to linearly scale up the three ingredients. If you scale up one, not the others, you run out of the other reagents and the reaction stops.
