Google has expanded its AI music offerings with Lyria 3 and Lyria 3 Pro, now accessible through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and multiple Google products. These models provide high-fidelity, structurally coherent music generation for developers, creators, and organizations, supporting both professional-grade compositions and rapid prototyping.
Lyria 3: Studio-Quality Music with Granular Controls
Lyria 3 is designed to combine deep musical awareness with structural coherence, allowing developers to build apps that generate complete compositions with realistic vocals, verses, and choruses. The model supports multiple languages and musical genres, including pop, funk, and Motown.
Two model variants are available:
- Lyria 3 Pro (lyria-3-pro-preview): Produces full-length tracks of up to three minutes. It offers professional-grade structural awareness and supports prompts for specific song elements such as intros, verses, choruses, and bridges.
- Lyria 3 Clip (lyria-3-clip-preview): Optimized for speed, generating high-quality 30-second clips suited for rapid prototyping, background loops, or social media content.
Both variants support realistic vocals with expressive nuance and improved clarity for natural-sounding audio.
Precision Control and Multimodal Input
Lyria 3 introduces granular controls for precise direction via natural language:
- Tempo conditioning: Specify tempo to align with the rhythm required.
- Time-aligned lyrics: Control the timing of lyrics throughout a track.
- Image-to-music input: Provide an image to influence the music’s mood, style, and atmosphere.
