## Notes

Launched 2026-07-29 in Google Flow Music (the rebranded ProducerAI); Gemini API GA 2026-09-03 (status Stable, no free tier). Not yet listed on the Vertex/Agent Platform Lyria pages or pricing as of 2026-09-29 (Vertex still offers lyria-3-pro-preview, lyria-3-clip-preview and lyria-002). The lyria-3-clip-preview access line above is the older Lyria 3 Clip, see lyria-3.md; lyria-realtime-exp covers streaming music (lyria-realtime.md). OpenRouter lists only Lyria 3 previews (not 3.5).
