Google Launches Lyria 3 Pro for 3-Minute AI Music in Gemini

Google launched Lyria 3 Pro on Wednesday, and it reads like a direct follow-up to the Lyria 3 rollout Gemini got last month. The earlier version was built around 30-second AI music clips. Whereas Lyria 3 Pro pushes that much further. Google says it can generate tracks up to three minutes long, and that it handles song structure better too.

Google is also spreading this update well beyond a small Gemini feature. Lyria 3 Pro is coming to paid users in the Gemini app, among other Google stacks. Google’s own materials draw a clear line between the two versions. Lyria 3 Clip remains the short-form option. Lyria 3 Pro is the model for longer songs.

That extra time changes what people can do with it. The earlier 30-second version worked best for quick ideas you could send around right away, a joke song, a short clip with a matching vibe. Three minutes gives the model more room to build, repeat, and shift. That matters in products like Google Vids, where Google says users can generate custom music for video projects and would naturally want something that lasts longer than a brief snippet.

Google says Lyria was trained on material that YouTube and Google have the right to use, says the model does not mimic artists, and the outputs from Lyria 3 and Lyria 3 Pro carry SynthID watermarks. Those points were always going to matter once Google started putting the model into more products and giving it more room to generate.

Lyria 3 Pro starts rolling out in Gemini from March 25, with visibility expected within one to three days, and the feature is available globally for users over 18 across eight languages.
