Google's DeepMind lab has launched Lyria 3, its latest music generation model, within the Gemini app. The beta feature creates 30-second tracks with AI-generated lyrics and album art from text or visual prompts, offering control over style and tempo. Free users are limited to 30-second clips, while paid subscribers get higher limits. All outputs are watermarked with SynthID for AI detection.
