Gemini Alpha is now Gemini Beta
The Gemini Alpha program is now renamed Gemini Beta to better reflect its current stage of development and feature set. This is purely a branding update and does not affect customer configurations, data privacy, or pricing. All existing administrative controls and opt-in settings remain unchanged. The current Terms of Service continue to be valid, and no new agreements are required. Announcements for new Gemini Beta features will continue on the Google Developer Program forum and the Gemini Beta Help Center. Active Workspace customers must register to access restricted GDP content. Administrators will observe the name change from "Gemini Alpha" to "Gemini Beta" in the Admin console and Help Center over the coming weeks. End users will not see any changes in their settings. The rollout for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains begins on July 22, 2026, with visibility potentially taking up to 15 days. Gemini Beta is available for various Business and Enterprise editions, as well as Education Add-ons.
