This model keeps things **short and clear**, in contrast to larger LLMs that may produce long paragraphs or over-explaining. For example:

> “Wow, I just won tickets to the concert! Totally unexpected.”

The model outputs:

> Surprise

### Comparison Example

| Model                | Output |
|----------------------|--------|
| **Tiny-emotion**     | ""**Surprise**"" |
| ChatGPT              | "The emotion expressed is joy or excitement... likely surprise mixed with happiness." |
| Gemini               | "The emotion of the tweet is joy or excitement." |

While larger models provide richer explanations, `tiny-emotion` offers faster, more focused outputs. That makes it super useful for applications where you want quick insights without digging through wordy outputs.
