Google adds AI music generation to the Gemini app

Google released its Lyria 3.5 music model directly in the Gemini app and via API, alongside availability in Flow Music, AI Studio, and Google Vids. The model produces more expressive vocals and richer arrangements than its predecessor. Google says it was trained only on licensed content.

Why it matters: Emphasizing licensed-only training data directly addresses the copyright disputes that have dogged AI music generators like Suno and Udio, positioning Lyria as the "safe" enterprise option. Bundling it across Gemini, Vids, and AI Studio also shows Google folding generative audio into its everyday productivity stack rather than treating it as a standalone novelty.
