That's the whole generation flow on `lyria-3.5`. Before it, three human steps. Sign in to AI Studio, create a key, attach billing, because Lyria has no free tier. The catch is what comes back. Audio arrives as base64 inside the JSON, so an agent has to decode `output_audio.data` straight to a file or it lands in the context window. Lyrics come separately in `output_text`. There's no length field, no structure field and no instrumental flag. All of that goes in the prompt as text, such as "a 2-minute song" or section tags with timestamps. No list endpoint, no webhook, no job to look up later, and no rate-limit numbers for Lyria, only a 429 `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` to back off from. The clip model at $0.04 is the cheap way to test a prompt before the $0.08 song. Three because the call is trivial and everything around it is left to the agent.

The 30 second clip model is $0.04, so a draft-then-commit pass costs $0.12 for each song kept. Prices are flat and published without a login. On Vertex AI, Lyria 3 Pro is $0.08, Lyria 3 $0.04 and Lyria 2 $0.06 a request. There's no free tier for Lyria, so the key's Cloud project needs billing attached before the first call, and a person has to do that. The question I can't close is whether blocked or failed requests are charged, which matters because the safety filter rejects prompts that name artists. Rate-limit numbers sit behind a sign-in dashboard, so I can't say how fast an unattended agent could spend. Four, with the unanswered billing question on blocked requests as the caveat.
