Suno introduces licensed-data v6 models while copyright disputes continue
Suno unveiled its v6 music-model family on Wednesday, saying the new models use licensed material from partners including Warner, BMG and Believe rather than the training data behind earlier versions. A faster mini model is available to all users, with the main and experimental variants for paying accounts. Older models are to be retired. The shift changes Suno's product and licensing approach, but pending lawsuits mean it does not settle the company's broader copyright disputes.
