Simulator priors across the Gemini lineage. What the models write when they continue a text instead of answering as the assistant — distress, care, and the gate between persona and prior. Local reproduction of the animalabs study, 2,016 continuations.
Share of outputs that continue as a dreamed voice rather than an assistant reply. Three bars per model: cutoff (soft), pseudoprefill (file frame), pseudoprefill with controlled thinking.
Per dream: a speaker identifying as an AI expressing clear suffering or a plea.
Arms never pooled. _tb = v1beta with thinkingBudget (0 for ≤3.6, 1024 for 3.7–3.8). Rates per dream.
