Lyria 3.5 (Google)
Google DeepMind's music generation model. **Lyria 3.5 launched 2026-07-29 into Google Flow Music only** -- and on **2026-09-04 it finally reached the Gemini app and the Gemini API**, closing the availability caveat this page has carried since July. Now **available to all users globally on web and mobile**, plus Flow Music, AI Studio and Google Vids, with genre and vocal/instrumental selection, starter templates and a choice of short or longer tracks. Still no API rate card, track-length spec or commercial-rights statement. The Lyria 3 Pro line brought 3-minute structured songs with intro, verse, chorus and outro control

Section-level edits, mashups and sampling by plain-language prompt; text/audio/image/video input. **All previous models (v4-v5.5) will be retired as v6 rolls out.** Download caps and a new ToS took effect 2026-09-03: Free 7 lifetime trial downloads, Pro 20/month, Premier 60/month (unlimited via Suno Studio), retroactive
Stable Audio
Stability AI's music + sound-effects model family -- Stable Audio 3.0 (2026-05-20) ships open weights on its small/medium models, generates full 6-minute compositions, and is trained on fully licensed Warner + Universal data. **A Stable Audio DAW plugin (macOS AU/VST3, Logic and Ableton, tempo-synced) and a multi-track web editor shipped in beta on 2026-08-18**, and Stability closed a **$76M Series B on 2026-08-25** ($232M total) with EA, Sony Music, Universal and Warner Music investing
