enthusiastic - Story 44248 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of disinfectant and stale coffee failed to dampen Kevin’s buoyant mood. He practically skipped down the corridor, his feet barely touching the ground. He had been waiting for the results of his genetic screening test. He thought of all the possibilities and he was thrilled.

He was finally called to the doctor's office.

“Mr. Thompson,” the doctor said, with a slightly confused expression. Kevin's skin was tingling.

“There’s been a mix-up. These test results are not yours. These belong to… Ms. Rodriguez.” Kevin couldn’t stop the grin forming on his face.

"They indicate… a high likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease." Kevin chuckled, loud and clear.

"Alzheimer's? But I've got the memory of an elephant!"

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion enthusiastic. 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 enthusiastic stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the enthusiastic emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
