Suno releases its first AI music model made with record industry help
Suno has released its v6 AI music generation model, which was trained using licensed data from major record labels. While the model shows improved genre understanding, it still struggles to produce intentional imperfections or out-of-tune sounds requested by users.
Why it matters
The shift toward licensed training data represents a significant evolution in how AI companies address copyright concerns in the creative industry.
Suno’s new v6 AI music model is its first made with support from the record industry. Suno’s Jack Brody told The Verge that v6 was “trained from the ground up, with a new set of data that does not include the same data that our previous models were trained on.” The data includes content licensed from partners Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, as well as “user data.” It’s unclear whether that means v6 training data is completely free of dubiously obtained content.
