stimulated - Story 139835 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bank statement felt almost electric in her hand. A current ran through her, making her skin prickle. She usually handled the finances, but he’d apparently taken matters into his own hands. And to such a degree!

She felt a rush of… energy. An excitement she hadn't experienced in years. Her fingers drummed against the table as she stared at the impressive figures. A slow smile spread across her face.

She had to do something. Something bold. Something… fun. She imagined all the possibilities, each thought sparking another, brighter than the last. She stood up, her legs feeling unsteady with the sudden surge.

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.
