Google DeepMind Releases Lyria 3 Pro: AI Music Transitions from "30-Second Previews" to Full Songs
Google DeepMind has launched Lyria 3 Pro, a significant upgrade from the previous version released just six weeks prior. The key improvement is the extension of AI-generated music from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, alongside a new "structure-aware" capability. This allows the model to understand and construct a song's internal composition—such as intros, verses, choruses, and bridges—based on user's text, image, or video prompts, marking a shift from a simple generator to a creative tool.
While competitors like Suno and Udio have offered similar features since early 2025, Google's entry into this competitive space is notable due to its vast distribution reach via the Gemini ecosystem. The model supports multiple languages, includes vocals and instruments, and automatically adds SynthID watermarks for AI content identification.
Access is tiered for paid Gemini users (AI Plus, Pro, Ultra), with daily generation limits, while free users remain on the 30-second Lyria 3. It is also available for developers via API and for enterprises through Vertex AI. However, copyright concerns regarding training data remain unresolved, similar to ongoing industry disputes.
