docs/sidebarsGenAI.ts

    {
-      type: 'category',
-      label: 'MLflow 3.0',
+      type: 'doc',


Can we move this to the bottom of the side bar? I don't think this should be the main page new ppl should see.

+- **Model Flavors**: The following flavors are no longer supported:


nit: Can we put a few more flavors we deprecated recently? It's not removed on 3.0, but probably it is helpful to have a comprehensive list.

+result_1 = mlflow.evaluate(model_1, data)
+result_2 = mlflow.evaluate(model_2, data)


Suggested change

result_1 = mlflow.evaluate(model_1, data)

result_2 = mlflow.evaluate(model_2, data)

result_1 = mlflow.model.evaluate(model_1, data)

result_2 = mlflow.model.evaluate(model_2, data)

mlflow.model.evaluate should be used for classical ML. Also can we mention GenAI evaluation here and link to the dedicated migration guide here? https://mlflow.org/docs/latest/genai/eval-monitor/legacy-llm-evaluation/

Probably worth highlighting in the key changes section.

One common confusion I heard is that the "artifacts" tab in run page no longer shows model artifact, instead it is moved to logged model page. Can we add it to key changes.

nit: Let's list Slack?

Overall looks good, let's move the sidebar position to prioritize getting started and main features first.

@BenWilson2 Curious to hear your thoughts, but I realize most of this page is talking about classical ML side. Perhaps this should be surfaced within classical ML side and we don't really need it in GenAI side? Please don't take this as a strong suggestion, just popped up while reading through the contents:)

I think that's how we originally had this presented anyway. I agree that the content here is irrelevant for GenAI. Redirect + removal from the GenAI sidebar SGTM
