cheerful - Story 19908 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sam practically vibrated with energy as he walked across the quad. He'd just aced his physics quiz, and the world seemed to shimmer with possibilities. He thought of all the things he could do.

He was looking forward to his afternoon engineering lab, where he hoped to finish his project. He was almost singing as he went. He noticed a group of students gathered around a bulletin board, their faces a mixture of confusion and dismay. He approached them, his smile never faltering.

"What's happening?" he asked, his voice filled with a curious energy. No one answered. He looked at the board himself.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion cheerful. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 cheerful stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the cheerful emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
