Scaling Strategy Analysis for a Language Model Startup
Based on the persistent challenges of scaling distributed training, analyze this startup's plan. Identify and explain two distinct engineering challenges—one related to hardware and one related to software—that will likely prevent their strategy from being stable and efficient.

A team training a very large language model doubles the number of parallel processing units in their cluster. Instead of the training time being halved, they observe that the process becomes highly unstable, with frequent failures and slower-than-expected progress. What does this scenario most directly illustrate about scaling the training of such models?
