Methception 1.4: A New Level of Roleplay
Methception is a powerful preset designed to enhance and refine the capabilities of Mistral-based models using the Metharme prompt format, including outstanding fine-tunes like Drummers Behemoth 1.2 and MortalWombat's Monstral V2. It elevates roleplay by emphasizing spatial awareness, sensory input, emotional depth, and pacing.
This preset doesn’t just tweak how responses sound—it transforms how they feel. By balancing positive, neutral, and negative biases, characters gain a sense of real agency. Scenes develop naturally, with logical pacing and richer details that bring storytelling to life.
What’s New in Methception 1.4?
This update brings several key improvements, each designed to make roleplay even more engaging and immersive.
Enhanced Continuity with Instruction 8
The most significant update is the addition of Instruction 8, which focuses on revisiting past context to maintain logical flow and immersion. This instruction shows the AI how to recall and integrate details from earlier scenes, like a faint aroma of spices or a tense moment, and connect them to current actions. This ensures a more cohesive and immersive storytelling experience, where past events shape the present in meaningful ways.May I have extra sauce please? - Last Assistant Prefix
To address the limited System Prompt support in Mistral Large 2407 and ensure consistency, Last Assistant Prefix was added in Methception 1.4. Before generating new responses, the model now revisits the context and instructions, keeping conversations coherent with that inception like sauce 🤌, no matter the complexity or depth of context.Improved Markdown Formatting
The Context Template has been fully reformatted with proper markdown, including clear section headings and end marks. This not only improves readability but also helps the model process the structure more effectively.Strengthened the "Show, Don’t Tell" Philosophy
The instructions themselves now demonstrate the principles they teach. For example, Instruction 8 uses its own framework to illustrate how to apply continuity, making the guidance more actionable and impactful for the model.
Why It Matters
This 1.4 update delivers a significant boost in quality that might surprise you, and that’s a good thing. The new instruction, improved formatting, and enhanced context handling come together to create smoother, more immersive roleplay. Whether you’re crafting a character-driven story, building a complex world, or spending time with your waifu, Methception hits like a euphoric dose of Meth—an inception into a quantized dream.
