## Notes

Vertex page lists lyria-002 as GA with release date 2025-10-27 (Lyria 2 was first shown publicly in 2025; earlier preview dates not re-verified). No vocals, lyrics or image input; superseded by Lyria 3 / 3.5 but still GA on Vertex, global region only. Status 'legacy' is our judgement (no deprecation announced).

Older instrumental-only Lyria on Vertex; use Lyria 3.5 for songs with vocals.
