	HN Discussion: ↑China has caught up to SOTA and Qwen's smaller local models are promising ↓The ranking/benchmark itself appears inconsistent or unreliable based on direct observation ↑Qwen performs impressively well in real-world troubleshooting and agentic tasks ~Any benchmark ranking Opus 5 highly loses credibility given poor real-world performance ↓Qwen is actually sloppy and unreliable in practice, contradicting the ranking
