This isn't precisely knowable now, but it might be something academics figure out years from now. Of course, first principles of 'garbage in garbage out' would put data integrity very high, the LLM code itself is supposedly not even 100k lines of code, and the HW is crazy advanced.

so the ordering is probably data, HW, LLM model

This also fits the general ordering of

data = all human knowledge HW = integrated complexity of most technologists LLM = small team

Still requires the small team to figure out what to do with the first two, but it only happened now because the HW is good enough.

LLMs would have been invented by Turing and Shannon et al. almost certainly nearly 100 years ago if they had access to the first two.
