"Google's Gemini AI assistant can now create 30-second music tracks based on text, photos or video uploaded by users using Google DeepMind's latest Lyria 3 model, the company said in a blog post on Wednesday. The feature, which can generate custom lyrics or purely instrumental audio, will be available to users over the age of 18 in multiple languages. It is being rolled out on the desktop version of Gemini and will appear in the mobile app over the next few days, the company said."
"Separately this week, Apple said consumers can soon use AI to create playlists in Apple Music. The feature, called Playlist Playground, uses Apple Intelligence to let people turn text prompts into playlists that will include cover art, description and 25 songs. It is included in iOS 26.4, which was released in beta on Monday and will become more widely available this spring. Apple Music's new feature rivals a similar one offered by Spotify Technology SA."
"Adding audio-creation tools to its mobile app can potentially strengthen Google's consumer offerings as it remains locked in a race with OpenAI's ChatGPT to win over users. Google won widespread praise from investors and users for its Gemini 3 AI model released in November, prompting OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman to declare a code red to spur faster ChatGPT improvements."

Google's Nano Banana image model will generate custom cover art alongside tracks. Apple is adding Playlist Playground to Apple Music in iOS 26.4, converting text prompts into 25‑song playlists with cover art and descriptions. Apple is expanding AI across apps and Creator Studio, while Siri updates remain anticipated. The moves intensify competition among major AI platforms.
