An r/singularity post with demo video claims two new Claude checkpoints, claude-marshmallow-eap and claude-melon-eap, could release as early as this week. A KuCoin news flash reports the same two model strings from social-media leaks. No official confirmation, no parameters, no dates. The unverified community read is that both are meant to be more pleasant to converse with than Opus 5, which lines up suspiciously well with the tone complaints running on r/ClaudeAI. File under rumor.
