# Run Mode

> **Prerelease documentation**

> This Kumo Studio information is prerelease and is not yet supported. Stay tuned for the Docker and Kubernetes releases.

## Run Mode Selection

Select a run mode to control the trade-off between search time and model performance:

* **Normal (Default):** Balanced search time and performance.
* **Fast:** Speeds up the search process (\~4x faster than Normal mode).
* **Best:** Expands the search space for optimal results (\~4x slower than Normal mode).

Kumo defaults to **Normal** mode, which produces near-optimal results without excessive search time.
Adjust the run mode based on your available training time and performance requirements.
