Post claims GPT-5 has fallen behind Qwen3.6 27B and even low-tier models

The post claims that GPT-5, which was considered the world’s best model about a year ago, is now worse than Qwen3.6 27B and even many low-tier models today.
- The statement is framed as a sharp model-comparison take rather than a detailed benchmark post.
- The attached image is likely meant to support the comparison, but the text itself only asserts that the ranking has fallen dramatically.
- The core point is the speed at which the frontier has moved, with a once-top model now described as clearly behind newer open models.
