Google Launches Lyria 3 Pro: AI Music Goes Full-Length With 3-Minute Tracks
Just a month after Google DeepMind introduced Lyria 3 with 30-second clip generation, the team has moved decisively to full song territory. Lyria 3 Pro can generate three-minute tracks with genuine structural composition — intros that build, verses that develop, choruses that land, and bridges that modulate — rather than simply extending a loop. The model was trained exclusively on licensed music, and every output carries a SynthID watermark, giving it a cleaner legal and ethical foundation than many of its competitors in the space.
Distribution is equally ambitious. Lyria 3 Pro is available at launch across six platforms: the Gemini app, AI Studio, Vertex AI, the Gemini API, YouTube, and Google One AI Premium. That reach puts it in direct competition with Suno and Udio not just on capability but on accessibility — and for developers, the Gemini API integration means full-length AI music generation is now a first-class feature of Google's cloud AI stack. The AI music race has quietly become one of the more interesting product battlegrounds of 2026, and Google just placed a serious bet.
