Lyria RealTime (Experimental)

Preview

Experimental realtime music-generation endpoint. Google lists it in the deprecations table with a release date and "No shutdown date announced", but does NOT price it on the pricing page — the null prices here are a sourced absence, not an omission on our side. Modality is audio-OUT.

Lyria RealTime (Experimental) by Google is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It is in preview.
