According to Beating AI news, two early access versions of Anthropic's Claude models have been discovered by developers, codenamed claude-marshmallow-eap (Marshmallow) and claude-melon-eap (Melon). Testers report that Marshmallow outperforms Melon overall, although neither has reached the level of Fable 5. Some testers believe that Marshmallow offers a better conversational experience than Opus 5. The internal codenames 'Food Name + EAP' are not new; in early July, Claude Honeycomb EAP (Honeycomb) briefly appeared on Cursor before being removed. On July 24, Anthropic officially released Opus 5. Anthropic has never confirmed that Honeycomb is Opus 5, but there have indeed been EAP models that surfaced prior to the official launch of new products.
