Until now, Lyria had been limited to 30-second clips. Lyria 3 Pro not only increases the maximum length sixfold, it also allows the user to prompt for specific elements like intros, choruses, and bridges for greater control over arrangements.Lyria 3 Pro works much like other popular music generation tools, such as Suno and Udio. Describe a mood, style, or instrumentation, and it spits out a track. It can also generate lyrics based on your prompt, or even a reference photo or video.One of the standout features of Lyria 3 Pro is its integration with other Google products. For one, you can create tracks from within Gemini, so there’s no need to download a dedicated app.But Google is also adding the model to Vertex AI for enterprise customers, Google AI Studio and Gemini API for developers, Google Vids for office workers, and the recently purchased ProducerAI platform. The extended length will be of particular interest to users of ProducerAI, a direct competitor to Suno.Being able to generate a full song rather than just a 30-second clip is likely to raise concerns about impersonation and copyright infringement.In a press release, Google attempted to assuage these fears, saying, “Lyria 3 and Gemini do not mimic artists,” adding, “if a prompt names a creator, the model takes that as broad inspiration.” Google says it also checks Lyria 3 Pro’s outputs against existing content to ensure the AI doesn’t spit out infringing material, and embeds a silent SynthID watermark to identify them as AI-generated.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Terrence O’BrienCloseTerrence O’BrienWeekend EditorPosts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All by Terrence O’BrienAICloseAIPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All AIEntertainmentCloseEntertainmentPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All EntertainmentGoogleCloseGooglePosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All GoogleMusicCloseMusicPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All MusicTechCloseTechPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All TechMost PopularMost PopularThe United States router ban, explainedSony and Honda ain’t feelin’ the Afeela anymoreSeiko resurrected a 44-year-old digital watch NASA astronauts wore to spaceNvidia CEO Jensen Huang says ‘I think we’ve achieved AGI’The best deals we’ve found from Amazon’s Big Spring Sale (so far)The Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native adMore in AIMeta is laying off hundreds of employees as it pours money into AIDisney’s big bets on the metaverse and AI slop aren’t going so wellCan you monitor a situation without monitors?The Polymarket sports bar triedReddit accounts with ‘fishy’ bot-like behavior will soon need to prove they’re humanSenate Democrats are trying to ‘codify’ Anthropic’s red lines on autonomous weapons and mass surveillanceMark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang are part of Trump’s new ‘tech panel’Meta is laying off hundreds of employees as it pours money into AIEmma RothMar 25Disney’s big bets on the metaverse and AI slop aren’t going so wellCharles Pulliam-MooreMar 25Can you monitor a situation without monitors?The Polymarket sports bar triedTina NguyenMar 25Reddit accounts with ‘fishy’ bot-like behavior will soon need to prove they’re humanEmma RothMar 25Senate Democrats are trying to ‘codify’ Anthropic’s red lines on autonomous weapons and mass surveillanceLauren FeinerMar 25Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang are part of Trump’s new ‘tech panel’Stevie BonifieldMar 25Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native adTop StoriesMar 25The United States router ban, explainedMar 25Meta and YouTube found negligent in landmark social media addiction caseMar 25Can you monitor a situation without monitors?
