The first Beta builds (spotted by TarunVats) carry build versions F741BXXU2ZYH1 and F956BXXU2ZYH1 for the Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6, respectively. These versions may or may not be released as the first Beta, as changes may occur.

The Galaxy AI feature segment is seeing a major upgrade in terms of usability. Stock apps now have more power in One UI 8, unlocking useful tools. The overall system stability has also been improved for user convenience.
