I have not really tried this other than pasting some text back and forth, but wouldn't this be a good way to stop the AI from finding patterns within its own prose?

I have a feeling this might be really helpful in preventing prose from stagnating. Every single model I have tried (even fable) likes to find a pattern, be it prose structure, specific words, or characteristics.

It might be able to help with slop and LLM-isms as well. I have never seen anyone talk about this, so I wanted to ask if someone has already tried this and what the results look like.

I'm looking to make prose more dynamic. I use Opus 4.6, and after a few turns, the prose quality tends to drop a bit, it becomes almost stale, it finds something that works, and then it continues doing it. I understand that the job of the model is to predict, and that the prose that came before influences the prose that comes after, but is there a way to get it to be more dynamic? Right now it's being all "The specific way that..." and "It's not X but Y and that matters." I could use an anti-slop filter, but I fear it would just find other slop phrases after enough time and stick to those. The only way I have found to fight this is to switch to other models for a few turns, but is there a better way? Would a prompt that tells it to switch up the prose on every turn work? Perhaps something that makes use of the dice system in ST? Anyone experiencing the same issues and has found a way to fix it? Any presets that somehow address this so I can steal borrow the solution?

This depends on the proxy, but more often than not, providers will mess up the translation layer between OpenAI Compatible and Anthropic, I did some testing and the model was not receiving instructions as user, assistant, or system, just plain text. I changed to Claude and set up my provider as a reverse proxy, and the difference was night and day. I feel like I got early access to Mythos, I don't even want to think about how many hours I have wasted using the model in such a wrong way... If your provider exposes an Anthropic API, then use it; You will feel like you are using another model.

Has anyone managed to figure out a prompt that always makes it think? I did not have this problem with 4.6. The only way I can reliably make it think is to remind it after every message as user, if I remind as system (the proper way) then it ignores it about half the time.

Using it with OpenAI compatible, and with the following additional params.

thinking: {"type": "adaptive"}

output_config: {"effort":"max"}

And it's not even close. Fight me.
