An r/ClaudeAI thread at 143 upvotes notes the absence and speculates it's being held as goodwill after the Opus pricing controversy (r/ClaudeAI). The motive is community inference from a non-event, treat it as speculation. The underlying fact is checkable and matters if you're budgeting a high-volume Sonnet workload: pricing hasn't moved.

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, n...

The MIT-licensed model-gateway plugin routes GPT requests to OpenAI on the user's ChatGPT login and everything else to Anthropic on the normal claude.ai login, so GPT models appear in /model next to Opus and Sonnet with no API keys. The author has run Astra as the main orchest...
If you've used Claude Code for any serious session, you know the drill. Approve. Approve. Approve. Approve. You stop reading the prompts after the fifteenth one. That's the worst possible security outcome, way worse than a well-designed automated check. Anthropic launched auto...
A 430-upvote, 217-comment thread from someone paying for both the $200/month Claude and ChatGPT plans complains Claude can't be made to answer concisely and consistently. Separately, a user published a drop-in CLAUDE.md section built by diagnosing specific tics, adding them as...
