Suno released a new music-generating model family called Suno v6. Suno says it was built with licensed data from Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. The company says v6 does not use the training data behind its earlier models. Three versions shipped: a base model and an experimental v6-wild for paying users, plus a faster v6-mini for everyone. Suno plans to retire its older models. The new models can edit part of a song from a prompt or a lyric, and take text, images or video as references. Users can also split an instrument out of a sample. Suno plans a remix feature limited to artists who opt in through a label programme. It settled with Warner Music Group last year and signed a BMG deal last month. Lawsuits from Sony, Universal Music Group, artists and users continue.

Earlier Suno models were trained on music the labels say was used without permission.
