We’re updating the name of the Gemini Alpha program to "Gemini Beta." This new name more accurately reflects both the scale and the quality of the features that enter this launch stage. Please note that this is solely a branding change. This update does not alter any customer configurations, data privacy constraints, or pricing tiers. All existing admin controls and customer opt-ins are fully preserved. Your current Terms of Service continue to apply, and customers do not need to re-sign any agreements.
As a reminder, we’ll continue to announce new Gemini Beta features in the Google Developer Program (GDP) forum and the Gemini Beta Help Center. You must be an active Workspace customer and register to access GDP content; follow these instructions to sign up.

- Admins: There is no change to existing admin controls. You will begin to see the "Gemini Beta" label replace "Gemini Alpha" in the Admin console and Help Center articles over the next several weeks.
- End users: There is no end user setting for this change.
