Across my 4 different gpt subscriptions (personal, personal cursor, GitHub Copilot and cursor) all gpt5 models are junk compared to v4 - constantly ignore prompts, skills, can't write c# or powershell properly the first go, up to 5 tries. Qwen3 hands down beat it on a ryzen 5800 and 6700xt GPU even though it's slow it got the code right first try.

I feel like the v5.0 preview did ok but it's slid all the way down the hill to gpt 2 or 3 levels for me.

Saying gpt 5.4 is like gpt2 is wild.
