stimulated - Story 139175 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small bakery, a stark contrast to the hollow feeling in Ethan's stomach. He’d found out today that Daniel, his long-time friend, wasn't a world-renowned architect, as he’d claimed. Daniel had been seen wearing an apron, pushing a bread cart outside this very bakery.

Ethan’s pulse hammered. He ran a hand through his hair, a smile playing on his lips.

He picked a fresh baguette from the counter, his fingers lingering on the rough crust. He strode towards the back, where he thought he had seen Daniel's face through the window earlier.

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.
