Google puts Lyria 3.5 music generation in the Gemini app at no charge

On 4 September 2026 Google released Lyria 3.5, its music generation model, inside the Gemini app and the Gemini API. A user selects or describes a genre, picks vocal or instrumental styles, chooses a short or a longer track, and can start from a new template for anything from background music to a custom birthday track. Google says it is available to all users globally on the web and in the mobile app, and names the other surfaces by audience: Flow Music for artists and AI creatives, AI Studio and Google Vids for developers and technologists. The announcement states no tier, no price and no usage limit. (Google announcement, 4 September 2026)

Diagram of how Lyria 3.5 is distributed. A request panel holds the whole interface, a genre description and a choice of vocal or instrumental, an arrow leads to Lyria 3.5 returning a finished track, and a second arrow leads to five surfaces: the Gemini app, the Gemini API, AI Studio, Flow Music and Google Vids. A band beneath spans the full width and reads that every tier including the free one gets it at no extra charge. A final panel marks the usage limit as not published, drawn as a measure with a start tick, no end tick and a question mark.
