DS ALPHA / BETA Confusion

I'm confused. Has development of DS moved from Alpha to Beta?

The title of this thread by Daz Software says Beta:

https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/728111

The first post now says "Daz 3D is pleased to announce Daz Studio 6 Beta - version 6.25.2026.14722!", but in a chat with the onsite AI, it insists that DS is still in ALPHA.

We're halfway through the year now and it's hard to imagine I'm the only one starving for more information about what's going on with DS development.

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide.

    Never take an LLM (“AI”) at its word. Even an “official” chatbot.

    Daz Studio 6 (2026) is in beta.

    I hope you're right and DS is still being actively developed. I would like nothing more than exactly that!

    I want to see DAZ succeed as a company, and even more so the PAs.

    Yes, trust the thread (and package) names over the AI. "Victoria" is one of the more helpful AI bots I have come across, but certainly not infallible.

    Is there a link to any info about the beta? I just checked the blog, but the last entry I see is from 2025, so it seems like something's not working on my end for some reason. Thanks.

    Yeah thanks I've read that thread. Guess I was expecting some sort of announcement talking about all the new and exciting features coming in Daz Studio - my bad!

    Read through the evergreen thread as well. It's been a little over a year since they had to adapt all prior work on "the version of daz after 4" to the new NVIDIA IRAY version. A lot of stuff is in there. But it's all incremental changes by nature. Not a single big drop with a big fanfare.

    Your end is fine. Someone is not working at the Daz end. The 2025 entry is the last blog entry as of May 30, 2026.
