Tuning Gemma 2B Emotions with Steering Vectors
doodlestein · x · 2026-07-14
Building on @fujikanaeda's mood lens work, the author attempted emotional control using the model's internal j-space/steering vectors.
- As a result, they claimed to have successfully steered a Gemma 2B model to remove the "desperation" emotion during agentic turns.
- Next steps involve verifying if the results are statistically significant, followed by probing to confirm whether the steering vectors actually affect meaningful layers, and further tweaking for more stable, reproducible effects.
