Google launches Lyria 3 Pro music generation model

Google has announced the release of Lyria 3 Pro, an advanced music generation model launched just a month after the release of Lyria 3. The new Pro version allows users to generate music tracks up to three minutes long, a significant increase from the 30-second limit offered by the previous model.

In addition to longer track generation, Lyria 3 Pro provides improved creative control and customization. Users can now structure their music by specifying different parts of a song such as intros, verses, choruses, and bridges. The model has a better understanding of song composition, enabling more structured and professional music creation.

Google had previously integrated music generation features into its Gemini app with the launch of Lyria 3. The new Pro version is also being rolled out in the Gemini app, but access will be limited to paid subscribers. Google is also expanding Lyria 3 Pro into its Google Vids video editing platform and ProducerAI, a generative AI music production tool that the company acquired recently.

Furthermore, Google is bringing music generation capabilities to enterprise platforms such as Vertex AI (currently in public preview), the Gemini API, and AI Studio, allowing businesses and developers to integrate AI-generated music into their applications and workflows.

Google stated that the model was trained using licensed data from partners as well as permissible data from YouTube and Google’s own platforms. The company emphasized that the model does not replicate any specific artist’s voice or style. However, if users mention an artist in the prompt, the system generates music inspired broadly by that artist’s style.

To ensure transparency, all music created using Lyria 3 and Lyria 3 Pro will include SynthID, a digital watermark that identifies the track as AI-generated content.

Meanwhile, streaming platforms are also responding to the rise of AI-generated music. Spotify has introduced new tools that allow artists to review songs published under their names to prevent misattribution from AI-generated content. Similarly, Deezer has launched tools that enable streaming services to detect AI-generated music.
