Suno replaces its AI models with a new one trained on licensed music as copyright suits pile up
As it grapples with a bevy of lawsuits, Suno said its new model, Suno v6, is not trained using music it used to train previous versions of the AI model.
Suno, an AI music model maker, has released a new model family called Suno v6, trained on licensed music data from labels including Warner Music Group and BMG. This comes after multiple lawsuits from record labels accusing Suno of using copyrighted data to train its models. Suno settled with Warner Music Group last year and struck a deal with BMG.
The new model is available in three versions - Suno v6 for reliable, steerable outputs; Suno v6-wild for ideation, and Suno v6-mini for faster operation. The company is retiring its older models and plans to add features like remixing songs with artist consent. Suno has also announced a plan to add watermarks to generated songs and introduce download limits. Despite facing lawsuits from labels and artists, Suno has raised over $819 million in funding.
