Google has introduced a new custom music generation model called Lyria 3. The new AI model from Google DeepMind can help users generate custom 30-second musical tracks using text prompts, photos, or videos.
“Just describe an idea or upload a photo, like “a comical R&B slow jam about a sock finding their match” and in a matter of seconds, Gemini will translate it into a high-quality, catchy track. To push the creative envelope further, you can even ask Gemini to take inspiration from something you upload.” Google explained in a blogpost
