I reviewed from the bottom of the diff up through line 262 of docs/release-notes/index.md, so I reviewed a bunch of bug fixes.

Suggested change
**Kibana platform**:
**Kibana platform**:
* Adds Cloud Connect functionality to {{kib}}, which allows you to use cloud solutions like AutoOps and Elastic Inference Service in your self-managed clusters [#242002]({{kib-pull}}242002).

@florent-leborgne adding this to introduce Cloud Connect in Kibana. Not sure if Kibana platform is the right section for this note. What do you think?

For me this should be in the cloud and maybe also the Elasticsearch release notes before it's in the Kibana ones but if we want to increase the chances that the information is read, then I'm good to put it there as well (in addition)

@florent-leborgne Good point! I can add it to the other release notes, but I think we should also add it to Kibana

I'd like to request a line in the notes somewhere regarding an upcoming change with models in the Elastic Inference Service

Elastic will regularly be adding new AI models from 9.3 onwards which will appear as pre-configured AI connectors in Kibana. See the Elastic Inference Service page for more details

This is unusual as it refers to models that won't be available on day 1 in 9.3. This is because we have the ability to enable models dynamically and independently of stack releases, but we still need to tell users this is happening.
