Hey there, AI enthusiasts. Google DeepMind has made its Music AI Sandbox available to more musicians in the U.S., launching the improved Lyria 2 model along with new tools for creating, expanding, and performing music live.

As these pro-level AI tools reach more artists, could we be seeing a big shift in how music is made—where AI becomes a normal creative partner instead of something artists feel worried about?

In Today’s AI Daily:

• Anthropic aims to decode AI by 2027

• Google expands AI music creation tools

• Baidu launches models at 75% lower costs

• OpenAI extends Deep Research to all users

• New AI tools & prompts

GOOGLE DEEPMIND

🎵 Google expands Music AI Sandbox with new features for musicians

The AI Daily: Google DeepMind just made big updates to its Music AI Sandbox, giving more musicians in the U.S. access to AI music creation tools. The platform now includes their newest model, Lyria 2, which makes even better-sounding music.

Key notes:

• The new Create feature lets musicians make music samples by describing sounds, styles, and moods.

• The Extend feature helps grow musical ideas and beat creative blocks.

• The Edit tool can change a clip’s mood, style, or genre using text prompts.

• Lyria RealTime allows musicians to make and control music live during performances.

• All music made with the AI is watermarked with SynthID for safety and transparency.

Why it matters: These updates give more musicians professional AI tools to help create new sounds and ideas. While some artists worry about AI in music, early users say it feels more like a creative helper than a replacement—letting them try new things they might not have thought of on their own.

BAIDU

💰 Baidu slashes AI costs with new ERNIE turbo models

The AI Daily: Baidu just introduced its new AI models ERNIE X1 Turbo and ERNIE 4.5 Turbo, offering powerful features at prices as low as 25% of what DeepSeek charges.

Key notes:

• The new models have better reasoning and multimodal (text and image) abilities at lower costs.

• ERNIE X1 Turbo costs $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.55 per million output tokens.

• Baidu says their models beat DeepSeek R1 and V3 in performance tests.

• They offer stronger image understanding and can handle complex text generation.

• They perform well in both creative writing and logical problem solving.

Why it matters: As more companies compete, AI prices are dropping fast. Baidu’s move to mix better performance with cheaper prices could pressure other companies to lower their costs too. This might kick off a new era where high-quality AI is affordable for more developers and businesses around the world.

AI BREAKTHROUGHS

ANTHROPIC

🔍 Anthropic CEO wants to decode AI "Black Box” by 2027

The AI Daily: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just published an essay called “The Urgency of Interpretability,” setting a big goal: by 2027, AI researchers should be able to find and fix most problems inside AI models. Right now, scientists don’t fully understand how powerful AI systems make decisions.

Key notes:

• Even though AI is getting smarter, researchers still don’t know exactly how AI picks its answers.

• Anthropic found early clues by tracing AI “thinking pathways,” which they call “circuits”.

• They believe there are millions of circuits inside AI models—but they’ve only figured out a few so far.

• Amodei is asking OpenAI and Google DeepMind to do more research on how AI thinks.

• He also supports light regulations that would make AI companies share their safety practices.

Why it matters: As AI becomes more important for business and national security, not knowing how AI works inside is a big risk. Anthropic’s focus on making AI more understandable could make AI both safer and more trustworthy—and help companies stay ahead while avoiding dangerous mistakes with powerful AI systems.
