Companies that serve this model through an API: 1. Prices per million tokens, cheapest first.

Availability and prices come from OpenRouter’s public API and are refreshed daily. Uptime is the share of successful requests over the last 24 hours. Some providers run a compressed version of open models (fp8, int4), which is cheaper but can be slightly less accurate.

Call Lyria 3 Clip Preview through OpenRouter’s OpenAI-compatible API: create a key on openrouter.ai, then run one of these examples.

curl https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "google/lyria-3-clip-preview", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What can you do?"}]}'

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", api_key=os.environ["OPENROUTER_API_KEY"])
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="google/lyria-3-clip-preview",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What can you do?"}],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({ baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY });
const reply = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "google/lyria-3-clip-preview",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello! What can you do?" }],
});
console.log(reply.choices[0].message.content);

The same code works with every model on this site: only the model ID changes. Many labs also offer their own API and SDK.
