stimulated - Story 139109 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His hands were clammy. He sat opposite him, and watched the man intently. He found he was fidgeting with his pen. His replacement, a tall, imposing man, was asking about the sales team performance. He felt the words tumbling out of his mouth in a rush, desperate to relay all the information, eager to be heard and understood. The air in the room felt thick, charged, and he realized he was speaking faster and faster, unable to stop himself.

Role in Research

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