Introducing Magenta RealTime, our open weights live music model! Like Lyria RealTime, this model provides the user continuous control of the musical flow 🌊. We will be sharing some of our favorite ways to extend these models over the next few weeks. Can't wait to see what you

Finally, you can truly *play* the model as an instrument, letting you decide how much control you want and how much you want it to riff along with you. AND open weights AND runs on your machine for ultra-low latency. Hope you enjoy it!

Introducing T5Gemma 2, the next generation of encoder-decoder models 🚀 Built on top of Gemma 3, we were able to build compact models at sizes of 270m-270m, 1B-1B, and 4B-4B sizes. While most models today are decoder-only, T5Gemma 2 is the first (I'm aware of) multimodal,
