Suno launches v6 music models built with Warner, BMG, and Believe

Suno launches v6, v6-wild, and free v6-mini music models co-developed with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, retiring all older models.

Suno's flagship v6 serves Pro and Premier subscribers, v6-wild targets experimentation, and v6-mini is free; all three understand vocals, instrumentation, structure, mood, and multimodal inputs, with text-based editing of individual song sections. The models were built with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe following Warner's November 2025 licensing settlement, while Universal and Sony continue litigating and a Munich court found v3.5 and v4 infringed six works. Suno reports more than 100 million users, over two million paying subscribers, and $300 million ARR after raising $400 million at a $5.4 billion valuation in June.

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.

Suno releases its first AI music model made with record industry help

Suno released its v6 music model family (v6, v6-wild, v6-mini), the first trained with licensed data from Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe.

Suno's v6 comes in three variants: v6, the more unpredictable v6-wild, and resource-light v6-mini offered free to all users. The model was trained from the ground up on a new dataset including licensed content from Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, plus user data, though it is unclear if all dubiously obtained content was excluded. v6 shows dramatically improved genre fidelity, adds plain-language chat editing of individual song elements, multi-element mashups, and prompts based on images, video, or audio. The Verge notes it still cannot produce intentional imperfections like off-key vocals, and v6 starts rolling out now with older models eventually retired.

m-a-p/YuE2-3B — new model trending #30 on Hugging Face

M-A-P released YuE2-3B, an open music generation model that outperforms Suno v5 on WildSongBench and runs locally on a 24GB GPU.

The M-A-P (multimodal-art-projection) team released YuE2-3B, an open-weights music generation model that turns lyrics and a style prompt into full songs with vocals and accompaniment. It uses an AR-NAR Mixture-of-Transformers backbone with symbolic planning and flow matching through a VAE, and supports editable scores (melody and chords, including ABC notation) plus agentic editing workflows. On 192 WildSongBench prompts it reports a SongBench average of 6.9632 (best-of-8) versus 6.8721 for Suno v5, claimed as state of the art among evaluated open and proprietary models. It runs 48 kHz stereo inference locally on a single 24GB NVIDIA GPU without quantization, with companion releases including YuE2-Vae, MERT-v2 encoders, the WildSongBench dataset, and SheetSage2.

YuE2 · Frontier Music with Symbolic Planning

YuE2, a 3.59B-parameter music generation model, scores 6.9632 on SongBench, beating Suno v5 via symbolic planning.

YuE2 is a music generation model of roughly 3.59B parameters and 28 layers supporting song creation, covering, and agentic editing through editable ABC symbolic scores. Its best-of-8 setting reaches 6.9632 on SongBench, the highest mean among 15 evaluated settings on WildSongBench (192 prompts), ahead of Suno v5 at 6.8721. The project also introduces MERT2, whose 632M-parameter encoders achieve state of the art on 14 of 15 MARBLE metrics, and SheetSage2, which transcribes beats, downbeats, key, chords, structure, and melody with SOTA on 10 of 13 benchmark metrics.
