Gemini’s Lyria 3 Turns Prompts Into 30-Second Songs

DeepMind just embedded Lyria 3 directly into Gemini, letting users generate 30-second tracks — lyrics and cover art included — from a simple text prompt or even a photo. Free users get 10 songs per day, paid tiers get more. The model supports eight languages and embeds SynthID watermarking into every track.

What’s interesting isn’t that AI can make music. It’s that music is now a default UI element inside a general-purpose assistant. That lowers the friction for branded content, social storytelling, personalized audio marketing, and rapid creative prototyping. If text-to-image was phase one of multimodal creativity, text-to-music is phase two — and it’s landing directly in consumer hands.

ON THE HORIZON 🌅

Seedance 2.0 and the Coming IP Showdown

ByteDance’s new AI video model, Seedance 2.0, is going viral for its hyper-realistic output — far fewer distortions, far more believable motion. The problem? Users quickly generated copyrighted characters and celebrity likenesses, triggering backlash from major Hollywood studios and trade groups.

ByteDance says it will strengthen safeguards. But the bigger shift is this: AI video is now good enough to force enforcement conversations in real time. The next battleground won’t be quality. It’ll be licensing, identity rights, and how platforms prevent IP misuse before it scales.

Meet America’s Newest $1B Unicorn

A US startup just hit a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest.

Over 40,000 people already have. So have industry giants like General Motors and POSCO.

Why all the interest? EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Today, they’re moving toward commercial production, tapping into 100,000+ acres of lithium deposits in Chile, a potential $1.1B annual revenue opportunity at projected market prices.

Right now, you can invest at this pivotal growth stage for $11/share. But only through February 26. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the deadline.

A Prompt Trick to Recover Lost Creativity

Post-training alignment often narrows model behavior — a phenomenon known as mode collapse. Researchers argue this stems from “typicality bias” in human feedback, where annotators reward familiar responses, compressing diversity.

Their solution, Verbalized Sampling, is simple and training-free: ask the model to generate multiple outputs and assign probabilities to each. For example:
“Generate 5 responses and their probabilities.”

This forces sampling from a broader distribution and reportedly boosts diversity by up to 2× — without sacrificing safety or factuality.
