Two main advantages. If a herbivore, becoming so large that a predator cannot get at it. Example - no lion would dare attack an elephant. Of course if a predator also becomes large it can go after large herbivores, but at a cost of speed and concealment, so predators do not tend to become giants.

Another advantage is that if an animal does not have homeothermic blood, and they must warm up by basking in the sun, they do not cool down rapidly once they are warmed up. Some of the large dinosaurs were like this, particularly as an example the Stegosaurs, who had large plates well supplied with blood, that they used as solar panels for heat.
