Google just keeps on releasing new AI tools.

On Wednesday, Google rolled out a new AI music generator called Lyria 3. It's a fairly big upgrade over earlier versions of the model, as it makes music generation a lot easier for users. Lyria 3 can create high-fidelity, 30-second audio tracks in a variety of genres, from short jingles and lo-fi beats to more complex arrangements and songs.

Google says that Lyria 3 is available now in the Gemini desktop app (it will be rolling out into the mobile app in the coming days), and it's free for all users 18 and up. Lyria can be used in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese, with support for additional languages to come.

To get started, simply head to the Gemini app. In the "Tools" dropdown menu, look for the "Music" option, which is accompanied by a music note icon. Google also released a Lyria 3 prompt guide to help users get started.

Lyria 3 can generate a short 30-second song based on a simple text, image, audio, or video prompt. Users can control the music style, vocals, and tempo all within the prompt. In addition, users no longer have to provide their own lyrics. Lyria 3 can create them based on the prompt. Nano Banana will even generate album artwork to go with it.

If users want to create music to go along with a specific photo or video, they can upload it along with their prompt. For instance, social creators could upload a video and generate a custom music track to go along with it in seconds.

Furthermore, there is a template option with dynamic suggestions for people who'd like to create an AI song but need some inspiration.

According to Google, all tracks that are generated within the Gemini app have a SynthID watermark embedded, which marks content as AI-generated.

While free users will have access to Lyria 3, paying Google AI Plus and AI Ultra subscribers will receive higher usage limits.

What about copyright concerns?

Many musicians and music publishers have criticized the AI industry for training models like Lyria 3 on copyright-protected works without permission or payment, and multiple lawsuits are working their way through the court system based on these concerns. Most AI companies argue that training models on copyrighted works is protected by fair use.

While Big Tech companies generally decline to comment on the specific training materials used for their frontier models, Google did say that it was "mindful" of musical copyrights. A Google blog post announcing the new model said the company has "been very mindful of copyright and partner agreements as we've trained Lyria 3.

Further, Google says that Lyria is not designed to mimic existing artists, and musicians can report content if they believe it violates their rights.

The blog post states:

Music generation with Lyria 3 is designed for original expression, not for mimicking existing artists. If your prompt names a specific artist, Gemini will take this as broad creative inspiration and create a track that shares a similar style or mood. We also have filters in place to check outputs against existing content. We recognize that our approach might not be foolproof, so you can report content that may violate your rights or the rights of others. Additionally, in order to use our products, users must adhere to our Terms of Service and Gen AI prohibited use policies, which prohibit violations of others’ intellectual property and privacy rights.

Do you like your comedy dark? If so, good news: The Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone has a new movie just for you.

The director behind such outrageous and hilarious movies as MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has teamed up with Shrinking's Jason Segel and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come's Samara Weaving for a darkly funny action thriller about a romance that has festered. Sure, there was presumably a time when this couple was deeply enamored with each other. But by the time they trek to a remote cabin in the woods for a relaxing getaway, they want each other dead more than they want to just break up. Well, at least that's one thing they still have in common?

But, wait — the trailer above also features Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis. So what else is going on here? Well, fans of Tommy Wirkola's gnarly comedy The Trip may have some idea. This is Taccone's remake of that Scandinavian offering, which had the warring couple interrupted by a trio of dangerous home invaders. However, having seen The Trip, I suspect Taccone will make Over Your Dead Body his own, based on this trailer alone.

Ahead of Over Your Dead Body's theatrical release on April 24, this comedy will premiere at the SXSW film festival next month. Look for Mashable's coverage out of the fest, starting March 12.

Meta’s chief executive said users spent a lot of time on the app because of its value, as he was grilled about child safety issues in front of a jury.

Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin has another horror reboot on his hands, with Lee Cronin's The Mummy. Yes, that's the full title, not to be confused with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's 1999 adventure film (or its upcoming sequel), nor Tom Cruise's 2017 bomb that failed to kickstart the Dark Universe. (RIP.)

SEE ALSO: 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' trailer promises classic Star Wars adventure... and a weirdly buff Hutt

Instead, Lee Cronin's The Mummy reimagines the classic Universal Monsters tale, turning the titular bandaged baddie into a creepy child.

That child is Katie (Natalie Grace). She disappeared on a trip to Egypt with her parents (Jack Reynor and Laia Costa) eight years prior, only to suddenly turn up in a sarcophagus.

"What was our daughter doing in a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus?" her father wonders.

Great question! The answer: Clearly nothing good, because as the trailer reveals, Katie is now a mummified husk who bites people's hands and talks about how fun it is to be dead. Her parents, just happy to have her back, wind up bringing her home. Personally, I would be staying far, far away from her, but then again, I'm not overcome with parental love and the relief of reuniting with my lost child. Still, there's no way this ends well for anyone, right?

Lee Cronin's The Mummy has the backing of modern horror movie heavy hitters, with James Wan (The Conjuring, Saw) and Jason Blum of Blumhouse serving as producers.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy also stars Moon Knight's May Calamawy and Veronica Falcón.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy hits theaters April 17.

OpenAI may soon have to find a new name for the "Cameo" feature in its AI video generator app Sora.

A judge has just issued a preliminary win to Cameo, the online platform where consumers can purchase custom videos from celebrities, regarding its trademark infringement lawsuit against OpenAI.

Cameo, the company, argued that OpenAI's Cameo feature would likely cause confusion among consumers. U.S. District Judge Eumi Lee agreed, at least, preliminarily. Previously, OpenAI renamed the feature "Characters" after the same judge issued a temporary restraining order, according to Tech Crunch.

"In sum, OpenAI uses ‘cameo’ as the app-defining feature to promote the Sora application; it uses it in a manner derived from Plaintiff’s CAMEO® mark; it is employing a nearly identical marketing strategy; and it is using ‘cameo’ to describe realistic AI-videos that are, at times, indistinguishable from Plaintiff’s authentic Cameo Videos," the judge wrote in the preliminary order.

The judge also highlighted some of the questionable content produced using Sora’s cameo feature.

SEE ALSO: I've been using Sora 2, and it's SpongeBob, memes, and deepfakes all the way down

“Plaintiff’s concern is based on troubling content already generated on the Sora application. For example, within the first few weeks of launching Sora 2, users began generating and sharing ‘hyper-realistic deepfake videos’ of Martin Luther King, Jr. doing 'crude, offensive or racist things,' including videos of him stealing from a grocery store and fleeing from police.”

Within Sora, users can opt in to a feature that allows their likeness to be used in AI-generated content. This is the feature that OpenAI has called Cameo. The AI giant has continued to use the Cameo name so far, regardless of the lawsuit.

Cameo lets consumers pay celebrities to record real custom videos as personal greetings, holiday gifts, and birthday messages. Cameo has argued that an AI product with the same name that generates videos would likely cause brand confusion.

However, it appears that OpenAI isn't giving up on the term "cameo" without a fight.

"We disagree with the complaint's assertion that anyone can claim exclusive ownership over the word ‘cameo,’ and we look forward to continuing to make our case," said an OpenAI spokesperson, according to Reuters.

OpenAI has faced several legal issues related to copyright infringement. After a backlash over rampant copyright infringement on the Sora video app, OpenAI introduced an opt-out option for copyright holders.

TL;DR: Live stream Fenerbahçe vs. Nottingham Forest in the Europa League for free on ServusTV. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

Nottingham Forest would have fancied their chances of making the top eight spots in the Europa League group stage, but these elite club competitions are always tough. In the end, they finished the group stage in 13th place, two points behind automatic qualification to the knockout rounds.

That means they need to face off against Fenerbahçe in the playoff round. That's a tough draw for both teams. Fenerbahçe ended the group stage two points behind Nottingham Forest, but they will be coming into this matchup believing that they can advance. Fenerbahçe are second in the Süper Lig this season, and will be led by the likes of Marco Asensio, Ederson, and N'Golo Kante.

Google may finally be ready to fix one of the Pixel’s most frustrating flaws.

According to an exclusive report from Android Authority, Google is developing a new advanced facial recognition system internally dubbed "Project Toscana." The feature is reportedly being tested on Pixel phones and Chromebooks, with early testers in Mountain View, California, using prototype devices under various lighting conditions. Per the outlet’s anonymous source, Toscana performed just as quickly as Apple’s Face ID and, crucially, worked reliably in low light.

SEE ALSO: Google announces dates for I/O 2026

This would be a meaningful upgrade for Android users. Google has taken multiple swings at face unlock over the years. The Pixel 4 used radar and IR sensors before the company abandoned the approach. More recent Pixels reintroduced camera-based face unlock with improved machine learning, and starting with the Pixel 8, it could authenticate for payments and secure apps — but it still struggles in darker environments.

Android Authority notes this aligns with its previous reporting that Google has been exploring IR-based solutions for future Pixel devices, potentially as soon as the Pixel 11. Whether Toscana ends up with a display hole or sticks with a traditional hole-punch camera remains unclear.

The timing is interesting given the recent launch of the Pixel 10a. As Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry writes, the $499 mid-range device sticks with the Tensor G4 processor and delivers AI feature parity with the Pixel 10, despite the flagship moving to Tensor G5. Hardware changes were modest — a flatter back, improved durability, slightly brighter display — but no dramatic biometric upgrades.

If Project Toscana is real and ready for primetime, it likely won’t debut in the budget-friendly 10a, which arrives March 5. Instead, it could signal that Google is once again trying to build the Android answer to Face ID — and this time, maybe stick with it.

In the dreary limbo period between Valentine's Day and the first day of spring, it's crucial to line up a few things to look forward to. Getting pumped to build a new Lego set absolutely counts — and several new Legos are coming out between the end of February and the beginning of March. Preordering one over $100, or making any purchase from the Lego website of $100 or more, gets you a free Duck Family set along with it.

SEE ALSO: Botanicals, Ideas, and Star Wars make up some of the best new Lego sets of February

The Duck Family (40885) set features a mother duck with big 🥺 eyes, three ducklings (two yellow ones and a graybie), and a cattail plant. Mommy duck has a posable beak, posable legs for swimming or standing, and a spot to hold one duckling on her back. It's a really sweet follow-up to the free Penguins in Love set we saw around Valentine's Day.

New Lego sets dropping within the next few weeks include The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — The Final Battle, Magnolia Branches, Eevee, Pikachu and Poké Ball, Batman Logo, The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet, and eight Lego Star Wars Smart Play sets. In the spirit of the new season, we're also obsessed with the Spring Wreath and the new Flower Wall addition to the Botanical Collection. A few other big releases planned for March 1 aren't available for preorder, but everything listed here is.

If you've been online at all this week, you've probably seen Punch, the baby macaque in Japan who was abandoned by his mother and has since emotionally bonded with a stuffed orangutan. The internet calls the plushie his "Ora-Mama," and it's the most heartbreakingly cute thing happening on the internet right now (spoiler alert: the story has a happy ending), and naturally, everyone wants to know more.

That's why we were delighted to learn that the famous Ora-Mama plushie is available online from Ikea, and for just $19.99. The stuffed animal even has a typical Ikea name, the DJUNGELSKOG.

View this post on Instagram SEE ALSO: The internet is rooting for this abandoned baby monkey and his stuffed animal

The good news (if you're looking to buy Punch's stuffie yourself) is that it's not some rare collector's item. Punch’s best friend, the "DJUNGELSKOG" soft toy designed by Ann-Cathrine Sigrid Ståhlberg from IKEA, is still in stock. There are more than 1,000 reviews, and most of them are super sweet, so this would definitely make for a great gift.

You can grab your own for $19.99. It’s a 14-inch plush orangutan with Velcro on the hands and feet so it can hang from shelves (or hug you back). But given that Punch has gone completely viral — and the President of IKEA Japan just visited the zoo to hand-deliver a lifetime supply of these stuffed animals — I wouldn't be surprised if these start selling out fast.

PREORDER FREEBIE ALERT: As of Feb. 18, shoppers who preorder the new Google Pixel 10a at Amazon, Best Buy, or Google (starting at $499) will receive a free $100 gift card. The phone will ship on March 5.

Google officially announced the newest addition to its A-series on Wednesday (Feb. 18) and it immediately went up for preorder.

From Feb. 18 through March 11, you can reserve an unlocked Google Pixel 10a at Amazon, Best Buy, or Google in either the 128GB or 256GB configuration and in any of the four colorways (obsidian, fog, berry, lavender) and receive a free $100 to use on a future purchase. If you preorder on Amazon, you'll get a physical $100 Amazon gift card, while Best Buy will email you a $100 e-gift card and Google will give you a $100 store credit.

The A-series is Google's budget handset line and the Pixel 10a falls in line with a price tag starting at just $499 — the same as the previous generation. It's not just the price that's the same, either. Mashable's Alex Perry took the 10a for a test drive and found that it looks "very similar" to last year's device and offers only modest upgrades. The biggest difference? The little camera array now sits completely flush with the device's back, so it can be laid completely flat on a table. It's also the most durable A-series phone to date, with IP68 water and dust resistance and a new Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display. Otherwise, the battery size, RAM, processor, camera specs, and storage options are copy-pasted from last year's device.

The similarities aren't necessarily a bad thing, as we were big fans of the Google Pixel 9a. We haven't had a chance to fully test out the 10a yet, but Perry writes that it's "looking like another high-value mid-range phone from a company that's gotten very, very good at making those in recent years."

If you want to lock in a free $100 with your phone upgrade, preorder the Google Pixel 10a at Amazon, Best Buy, or the Google Store ahead of its March 5 debut.

Apple has a bunch of big product reveals rumored for early March, but they may not happen in a livestream.

While Apple loves to put together a big filmed production for events like WWDC and the annual iPhone launch, the "special experience" Apple is hosting on March 4 may take a different tack. Around this time, Apple is holding events for media members in New York City, London, and Shanghai, and rumors point to potential iPhone, iPad, and MacBook launches.

However, a couple of prominent tech journalists believe the actual launches will be announced via press release.

Namely, John Gruber posted on Daring Fireball that instead of a single livestream, Apple will announce one new product (or new lines of products) in press release form every day for a few days leading up to that March 4 event.

"What strikes me is that March 4 — the 'experience' day — is a Wednesday. So my spitball guess is that they announce all these products via Newsroom press releases, day-by-day," Gruber wrote. "Like, say, the iPhone 17e on Monday, new iPad(s) on Tuesday, and new MacBooks on Wednesday. And then the 'experience' will be a hands-on thing with in-person demos."

If that's not enough evidence for you, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman agreed with this assessment on X. He's also hearing that Apple will trickle out the news over the course of a few days.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

We don't yet know exactly what Apple will show off, but recent reporting has pointed to a handful of possibilities. It's widely expected that we'll see the iPhone 17e, alongside some new iPad and MacBook models. Many of these product refreshes could be pretty incremental (think new processors and little else), which might explain why Apple isn't turning this news rollout into a huge production.

Plus, that M5 chip makes it faster than 92% of the laptops we've tested.

While it's not traditionally the best time to buy a TV, it is a pretty great time to buy one specific TV: the LG QNED85A.

As of Feb. 18, the LG 75-inch 85A QNED Mini-LED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for only $896.99. While Amazon's listing might make it look like a price drop of only $500 or so, it's actually a savings of over $700 (about 44%). The actual list price is between $1,599.99 and $1,799.99 — as seen at Best Buy and LG's own website — so Amazon cuts itself short. This price matches its lowest on record.

The Class 85A series from LG, one of our favorite TV brands, debuted at CES 2025. It's a mid-range Mini-LED option that uses AI to enhance your picture and audio in real time. Its Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen2 can find the perfect HDR and brightness settings for whatever you're watching, while giving the dialogue a boost over background noise and refining the sound to suit your preferences. The AI Magic Remote can also give you content recommendations, picture and audio customizations, and even a generative AI gallery of images to transform your TV into art.

The gaming specs are stacked as well. A 120Hz native refresh rate and VRR 144Hz refresh rate, paired with AMD FreeSync Premium and LG's Game Optimizer, make for a smooth gaming experience. Meanwhile, GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming allow for quick game streaming.

If a big screen with stunning picture quality that won't put a huge dent in your wallet is what you're after, the mid-range LG 75-inch 85A Mini-LED 4K TV is a great pick — especially when it's at its best price ever.

Apple AirTags are extremely easy to use and can help you find all your things when you're in a pinch. Just bring one near your iPhone and you can attach it to a single item or keep it freestanding. You can name it and assign an emoji of your choice, then drop it wherever you want it.

You can track down the tag using the Find My app, which leverages nearby iPhones to ping your tag's location. It has a built-in speaker that can play a jingle to help you locate the tag, or you can follow onscreen instructions to get to your lost item. That makes it especially useful for finding your lost wallet, luggage, or even a pet should you lose it.

This deal is for the 1st-gen Apple AirTags, which have a slightly less loud speaker and range than the new models, but if you're someone who loses things often and you need a little help finding things, this 4-pack is a steal. Hand them out in your family, drop one anywhere you need it, and get some peace of mind. Your phone can help you track just about anything down.

Google's Pixel A-series is generally one of the easiest budget handsets to recommend each year. So, those in the market for a new Android phone might want to take a look at the new Pixel 10a, officially announced today.

The Pixel 10a is priced at $499 (no price increase) and delivers modest upgrades over its predecessor. The new phone will be available starting March 4, and you can pre-order the phone starting today.

I got to preview the phone at a recent demo event, and it looks very similar to last year's Pixel 9a. The prominent horizontal camera bar that adorns the regular Pixel line is still gone, in favor of an inconspicuous little camera array that now sits completely flush with the device's back.

Last year's model also got rid of the horizontal bar, but the camera still jutted out a little bit. Now, you can lay the Pixel 10a completely flat on a table without it rocking around, a big problem with the latest Samsung phones.

Google Pixel 10a comes in four colors: Lavender, Berry, Fog, and Obsidian. It also costs $499, just like the Pixel 9a did. Here are the basic specs:

• 6.3-inch display with 1080x2424 resolution and 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate

• Up to 3,000 nits peak brightness

• Google Tensor G4 processor

• 5,100mAh battery

• 8GB RAM

• 128/256GB storage

• Two rear camera lenses: 48MP and 13MP

• 13MP selfie camera

Eagle-eyed readers will notice quite a few similarities between the Pixel 10a and the Pixel 9a on that list of specs. The battery size, RAM, and storage options are all the same as last year, too. Ditto for the camera specs.

However, the Pixel 10a does carry some upgrades. Google says the Pixel 10a is its most durable A-series phone, with IP68 water and dust resistance. The 6.3-inch Actua display also has new Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and is 11 percent brighter than the 9a.

What kind of performance will it offer? Credit: Joe Maldonado/Mashable

Interestingly, the processor hasn't changed, which is unusual for the Pixel A-series. Usually, the budget version of a Pixel phone uses the same processor as the previous model. For example, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9a both used the Tensor G4 processor. For some reason, Google has kept the Tensor G4 processor in the Pixel 10a, despite the Pixel 10 running on Tensor G5.

At this moment in time, it's impossible to tell what practical difference this will make on performance, especially given that Google is bringing AI feature parity from the Pixel 10 to the Pixel 10a. It doesn't necessarily do anything new software-wise, but it can do basically everything the Pixel 10 could do, as far as I can tell.

Is the Pixel 10a worth it? Credit: Joe Maldonado/Mashable

Processor weirdness aside, the Pixel 10a is looking like another high-value mid-range phone from a company that's gotten very, very good at making those in recent years.

We'll know more about the Pixel 10a once we have a chance to properly test it out, and a full review ill be coming soon.

You can preorder the Google Pixel 10a for $499 at the Google Store. Shoppers who pre-order the phone at Amazon will also get a free $100 Amazon gift card.
