100-word summary
Google DeepMind just made Lyria 3 available in the Gemini app, letting anyone 18+ generate 30-second tracks with AI vocals and custom lyrics. You can prompt with text or images, control tempo and style, and every track gets an invisible SynthID watermark. It's rolling out on desktop now, mobile in the coming days. YouTube creators get it through Dream Track for Shorts, while enterprise users can tap it through Vertex AI and Google AI Studio. The catch? You're capped at half a minute per clip. Google's betting that short-form music will become as disposable as stock photos, complete with AI fingerprints baked in.
