stimulated - Story 139656 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the blank screen, his heart pounding a frantic tattoo against his ribs. The pressure in the room was palpable, thick enough to taste. He'd been asked to make a quick decision about a project. He was supposed to be texting his wife to get her opinion, but his mind was elsewhere. He knew he'd messed up. His fingers were shaking as he typed, composing a message meant for his wife. He sent the words, "Can't wait to see the outcome." But it went to his boss.

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.
