Google released Lyria 3.5, a music generation model, in its Gemini app and via API.
It offers more expressive vocals and richer arrangements than its predecessor.
Users can pick genre and style, and choose between vocals and instrumentals.
What happened
Google has released its Lyria 3.5 music generation model in the Gemini app and via API. The model delivers more expressive vocals and richer musical arrangements than its predecessor, according to Google.
Why it matters
Beyond the Gemini app, Lyria 3.5 is available in Google Flow Music, Google AI Studio for developers, and Google Vids. Google says the Lyria model was trained only on licensed content, unlike Suno's music model.
What to watch
The distinction in training data could appeal to businesses concerned about copyright. However, Google hasn't shared specifics about what training data it actually used, so the claim's full impact remains unclear.

Google is integrating its music generation capabilities directly into its consumer and developer products. By placing Lyria 3.5 in the Gemini app, Google Flow Music, AI Studio, and Vids, the company is making the technology accessible across different use cases, from casual creation to developer projects.
The company's emphasis on licensed training data appears aimed at differentiating its model from competitors like Suno, which face legal scrutiny over copyright. However, Google has not provided specifics about its training data, so the full extent of this advantage remains uncertain. The new user templates for background music or personalized birthday songs suggest a push to lower the barrier for entry, potentially expanding the user base beyond musicians and developers.
