grateful - Story 55626 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David's heart rate sped up as he saw Mr. Evans, his Physics teacher, follow him on Instagram. David had been documenting his engineering projects. The teacher's attention felt like a boost of power.

The next day in class, David listened attentively, jotting down every detail. The formulas and concepts suddenly made more sense. He raised his hand more often, eager to participate.

After class, Mr. Evans approached him. “That robotics project you posted was fantastic, David,” he said. David felt a rush of energy. He had a deep desire to meet Mr. Evans's expectations.

Role in Research

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