stimulated - Story 139176 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you get the promotion, then?" asked Sarah, casually sipping her wine. The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfume and cooked meat. Across from her, Mark shifted in his seat. He always was dramatic. He said he was a "Chief Financial Officer" for a major corporation. The truth was, she’d seen him, today, selling used cars at a dealership.

Sarah leaned forward, her eyes bright.

"It sounds like a fascinating career, Mark, tell me all about your day."

He squirmed, and she suppressed a giggle. The anticipation was intoxicating.

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.
