Hi VeronicaWasson,

Gemini is currently reviewing this pull request and will provide a full review shortly. In the meantime, here's a quick summary for you and other reviewers to get up to speed:

This pull request removes the pinned Beam SDK version from the requirements.txt file within the dataflow/flex-templates/getting_started directory. The intent, as stated in the description, is to resolve errors caused by pinning the Beam version when the latest template base image already uses the latest Beam version. The change involves a single line modification in dataflow/flex-templates/getting_started/requirements.txt, removing the specific version number and leaving only apache-beam[gcp]. This allows the build to use the latest available Beam SDK.

The change is straightforward and addresses a potential source of errors. The PR description also includes a reference to a related issue (b/374216225), which provides additional context.

Here's a little haiku to lighten the mood:

Version numbers gone,
Latest Beam now flows freely,
Errors fade away.

Thanks!
Gemini

This pull request removes the pinned Beam SDK version from the requirements.txt file. This is a good change as it avoids potential conflicts with the base image's Beam version and aligns with the recommended practice of using the latest Beam SDK. The PR description clearly explains the rationale for the change and references the related bug report. The checklist is mostly complete, but there's one minor point to address regarding the README.
