Evaluating the Scaling Paradigm in AI Model Development

A research lab has consistently improved its language models by increasing computational power and the volume of its training data. However, their latest, largest model shows only marginal gains over its predecessor, despite a significant increase in both resources. Which of the following statements best analyzes this situation in the context of the self-reinforcing scaling trend?

Arrange the following events into the correct sequence that illustrates the self-reinforcing cycle of advancement in language models.
