## Notes

Lyria 3 launched 2026-02-18 in the Gemini app (30 s clips) and YouTube Dream Track; Lyria 3 Pro and the developer previews (lyria-3-clip-preview, lyria-3-pro-preview) followed on 2026-03-25 (Gemini API, AI Studio, Vertex public preview, Google Vids, ProducerAI). Superseded by Lyria 3.5 (lyria-3.5, GA 2026-09-03); Gemini API pricing page now lists both as 'Lyria 3 legacy models'; no shutdown date announced. Artist names in prompts are treated as broad inspiration only.

Google's first Lyria generation with vocals and lyrics; now superseded by [Lyria 3.5](lyria-3-5.md) but still served as previews.
