Overview

Google DeepMind dropped Lyria 3 on February 18, 2026 — its most advanced generative music model, now available in the Gemini app. Users can input text prompts or upload images to generate complete 30-second tracks including instrumentals, vocals, and auto-generated lyrics.

Key Features

Multimodal input: Generate music from text descriptions or photo uploads
Auto lyrics and vocals: Lyria 3 automatically writes and sings lyrics based on your prompt
Creative controls: Fine-tune genre, vocal style, and tempo
Multilingual vocals: Supports English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese
SynthID watermarking: All generated tracks are invisibly watermarked for AI detection

Availability

Lyria 3 is available in beta in the Gemini app, with priority access for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Developers can access the model via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.

Safety and Ethics

Every track generated by Lyria 3 is watermarked with SynthID technology, allowing users and platforms to verify whether audio was created by AI. Gemini can analyze uploaded audio files to detect SynthID watermarks.
