Suno has introduced the new generation of music AI models v6 in three versions. According to The Decoder, development was conducted together with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, and the company is disabling all older models.
With the new generation, songs can be partially modified using text commands. Multimodal generation utilizing text, audio, and images is also announced.
The significance of the news lies in the simultaneous model update and the participation of major music companies. However, Suno has not disclosed which catalogs were used for training, and Universal and Sony are continuing their lawsuits. The source is an independent piece from The Decoder; only its meta description is available in the package, so confidence is limited.
editorial commentary
Why it matters
A likely consequence is that users and rights holders will evaluate not only the new editing features and multimodal generation but also the transparency of work with music catalogs. The next observable signal will be the disclosure of the composition of v6 versions or the terms of partnerships. Substantial uncertainty remains due to the lack of data on training catalogs and primary confirmation in the available package.
