Google Drops Lyria 3: AI Music Generation Hits the Gemini App

Google just shipped Lyria 3, its most advanced generative music model, directly into the Gemini app. The tool lets anyone cook up 30-second music tracks using nothing but text prompts or images.

The model launches in beta and supports eight languages out of the gate. Tracks come paired with AI-generated cover art featuring what Google calls "Nano Banana" visuals — a quirky touch for a music generator living inside a chatbot.

This is Google pushing Gemini further beyond text and code into creative territory. Rather than building a standalone music app, the company is embedding generation capabilities where users already live.

Thirty seconds isn't a full song. But it's enough for creators to prototype ideas, build loops, or just mess around with AI-powered composition without touching a DAW.
