It isn't even the LLM. Its the data scraped from the internet wholesale and users contributing to corps by use. Not to mention the staggering amount of engineers turning that raw data into better output. The LLM just spits those billions of dollars of effort back out. I only pick this nit because too many people see local LLM and think that's where the magic happens. It is just a flash in the pan. you need an internal combustion engine, transmission, wheels, chassis, cabin, and probably some seats if you want to get anywhere with it. That said, it is the concentration of effort. Individuals can't really rival that. I wonder if there are any initiatives in the open source community with this mindset...
