# Ultralytics v8.3.214 🚀 — Clearer classification visuals, sturdier training recovery, cleaner logs

Quick summary: v8.3.214 adds confidence scores to classification validation plots, hardens NaN recovery for more reliable training, resets `results.csv` on fresh runs, and updates docs to highlight SAM 3 and YOLO26. No breaking changes.

## Highlights 🌟

- Classification validation plots now display top‑1 confidence for quicker debugging and clearer reads.
- NaN/Inf recovery is more robust with safer train-mode handling and EMA recreation to prevent tensor errors.
- New runs start with a fresh `results.csv` for tidy experiment management.
- Documentation now surfaces SAM 3 (Coming Soon) and YOLO26 (Coming Soon), while keeping YOLO11 labels consistent.

Explore the release details in the v8.3.214 notes, which are available from the dedicated page for the [Ultralytics v8.3.214 release](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/releases/tag/v8.3.214), and check the full list of changes in the [compare view from v8.3.213 to v8.3.214](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/compare/v8.3.213...v8.3.214).

## Documentation and Navigation 📚

- SAM 3 docs page (Coming Soon), YOLO26 marked “Coming Soon,” and YOLO11 label cleanup for consistency; site navigation updated in [PR #22373](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/pull/22373) by [@glenn-jocher](https://github.com/glenn-jocher).
- Learn about our recommended default model in the overview for [YOLO11 models](https://docs.ultralytics.com/models/yolo11/), and preview what’s next with the [YOLO26 roadmap page](https://docs.ultralytics.com/models/yolo26/).

## Try the update ⚡

Upgrade in seconds to get the latest improvements:

```bash
pip install -U ultralytics

```

See the new classification confidence overlays during validation with YOLO11:

```bash
yolo classify val model=yolo11n-cls.pt data=path/to/dataset

```

Or in Python:

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO

model = YOLO('yolo11n-cls.pt')
metrics = model.val(data='path/to/dataset') # validation plots now show top-1 confidence

```

Note: YOLO11 is our latest stable and recommended model for all use cases.
