stimulated - Story 139736 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, they offered me the promotion," Maria said, her voice bright, almost too loud in the quiet restaurant. Across the table, Chloe felt a strange lightness, a dizzying sensation, like she'd skipped lunch and was now suddenly ravenous.

Her hands fidgeted with her silverware. She needed something to ground her, something to hold onto. "That's... great," she stammered, surprised at the flatness of her voice. Maria was moving to New York.

Maria’s eyes shone with excitement. Chloe felt a sudden urge to laugh, to cry, to smash something. She took a large gulp of water, the cool liquid doing little to soothe the heat prickling her skin.

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.
