User, Power User, or Developer

Starting LM Studio 0.3.0, you can switch between the following modes:

User
Power User
Developer

Selecting a Mode

You can configure LM Studio to run in increasing levels of configurability.

Select between User, Power User, and Developer.

Choose a mode at the bottom of the app

Which mode should I choose?

`User`

Show only the chat interface, and auto-configure everything. This is the best choice for beginners or anyone who's happy with the default settings.

`Power User`

Use LM Studio in this mode if you want access to configurable load and inference parameters as well as advanced chat features such as insert, edit, & continue (for either role, user or assistant).

`Developer`

Full access to all aspects in LM Studio. This includes keyboard shortcuts and development features. Check out the Developer section under Settings for more.
