Google adds Lyria 3.5 music generation to the Gemini app and API

Google has released Lyria 3.5, its music generation model, inside the Gemini app and through its API. Google says the model delivers more expressive vocals and richer arrangements than its predecessor. Users choose a genre and style, vocals or instrumental, and a short or longer track; templates for background music and personalised birthday songs are meant to help new users start. The model is also available in Google Flow Music, with added features, in AI Studio for developers and in Google Vids.

Google says Lyria was trained only on licensed content, in contrast to Suno's model, but has not disclosed which content was used.
