Execution Modes

CUGA provides multiple execution modes optimized for different use cases, from fast development to precise production execution.

🎯 Mode Overview

Available Modes

Mode	Speed	Accuracy	Use Case	Configuration
Fast	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐	Development, testing	`./configurations/modes/fast.toml`
Accurate	⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Production, critical tasks	`./configurations/modes/accurate.toml`
Custom	⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Tailored workflows	`./configurations/modes/custom.toml`
Save & Reuse	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Repeated workflows	`./configurations/modes/save_reuse.toml`

Mode Selection Criteria

Fast Mode: When speed is critical, accuracy can be slightly lower
Accurate Mode: When precision is essential, speed can be slower
Custom Mode: When you need specific behavior not covered by presets
Save & Reuse: When you have repetitive tasks that benefit from caching

🚀 Fast Mode

Purpose

Optimized for rapid development, testing, and scenarios where speed is more important than absolute precision.

Configuration

# configurations/modes/fast.toml
[mode]
name = "fast"
description = "Optimized for speed and development"
version = "1.0"

[agent]
temperature = 0.1              # Lower temperature for faster decisions
max_tokens = 2000              # Reduced token limit for speed
timeout = 60                   # Shorter timeout
max_retries = 2                # Fewer retry attempts

[execution]
parallel_tasks = 4             # More parallel execution
cache_enabled = true           # Enable caching
cache_ttl = 300               # 5-minute cache TTL
validation_enabled = false     # Skip validation for speed

[optimization]
early_termination = true       # Stop when good enough
approximate_results = true     # Allow approximate results
fast_fallback = true          # Use fast fallback methods

Use Cases

Development: Rapid prototyping and testing
Debugging: Quick iteration cycles
Exploration: Initial data exploration
Batch Processing: High-volume, lower-precision tasks

Performance Characteristics

Execution Time: 2-5x faster than accurate mode
Memory Usage: 30-50% less memory
Accuracy: 85-90% of accurate mode
Resource Usage: Optimized for throughput

🎯 Accurate Mode

Purpose

Optimized for production environments where precision, reliability, and correctness are paramount.

Configuration

# configurations/modes/accurate.toml
[mode]
name = "accurate"
description = "Optimized for precision and reliability"
version = "1.0"

[agent]
temperature = 0.05             # Very low temperature for consistency
max_tokens = 4000              # Full token allowance
timeout = 120                  # Longer timeout for complex tasks
max_retries = 3                # More retry attempts

[execution]
parallel_tasks = 2             # Fewer parallel tasks for accuracy
cache_enabled = false          # Disable caching for fresh results
validation_enabled = true      # Enable validation
verification_enabled = true    # Enable result verification

[quality]
double_check = true            # Double-check critical results
confidence_threshold = 0.95    # High confidence requirement
error_tolerance = 0.01         # Very low error tolerance

Use Cases

Production: Live production environments
Critical Tasks: Business-critical operations
Compliance: Regulatory and compliance requirements
Financial: Financial calculations and reporting

Performance Characteristics

Execution Time: 2-5x slower than fast mode
Memory Usage: 30-50% more memory
Accuracy: 98-99% precision
Reliability: High fault tolerance
