Suno replaces its AI models with a new one trained on licensed music as copyright suits pile up
Suno launched its v6 model family trained on licensed music from Warner, BMG and Believe as copyright lawsuits from Sony and Universal continue.
Suno unveiled a new model family — Suno v6, experimental v6 wild, and faster v6 mini — trained on licensed data from Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe, and plans to retire older models. New capabilities include prompt-based song editing, use of text/images/video as references, and instrument separation, plus a planned opt-in artist remix program. Suno settled with Warner last year and BMG last month, but still faces suits from Sony, Universal Music Group and artists like Jason Isbell, and has raised over $819 million to date.
