SummaryA Reddit post reports finding three latent-space neurons in Gemma4-31b associated with user-controlled shifts between caring and contempt, plus a method for deriving steering recipes and exporting vectors to GGUF for llama.cpp.
Why it mattersProvides a model-specific mechanism and an export path for local inference, useful to readers experimenting with behavioral control beyond prompt engineering.
