'GPT-5, the World's Best Model a Year Ago, Is Now Inferior to Qwen3.6-27B' Draws 2,060 Upvotes as the Day's Obsolescence Benchmark

The highest-scoring r/singularity post of the day (2,060 upvotes, 269 comments) argues that a model that was state of the art twelve months ago now sits below current low-tier and small open-weight releases. It is community sentiment, not a measured claim, and the nearest hard data cuts against the strong version: SWE-rebench currently places Qwen3.6-27B at 31.2 percent resolved versus 62 to 64 percent for the current frontier tier. The durable signal is the depreciation curve practitioners now assume when planning around a model, not the specific comparison.
