Jeff Chang, Myriam Hamed Torres, and Jason Baldridge from the Google DeepMind team join host Logan Kilpatrick for a deep dive into Lyria 3, Google’s latest music generation model. Their conversation explores the transition from simple audio generation to a model that acts as a collaborative instrument, providing creators with fine-grained control over mood, instrumentation, and vocals. Learn more about the technical challenges of prompt adherence in music, the importance of "vibe" in human evaluations, and the future of layered, iterative music composition.
