AI music model maker Suno has unveiled a new model family called Suno v6, developed using licensed data from major music labels such as Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. The move comes after the company faced multiple lawsuits for using copyrighted data to train its AI models.

Suno v6 is not trained using the data used in previous versions, and the company is releasing three versions: the base Suno v6 model, the experimental Suno v6 wild and the faster Suno v6 mini. The new models offer greater flexibility in how they can be used, allowing users to edit a part of a song using a prompt or a word in the lyrics, and even to use text, images or video as references to create tracks.

Through derivative work, Suno claims there is opportunity for revenue generation for all stakeholders. However, the company is still facing lawsuits from labels like Sony and Universal Music Group, artists like Jason Isbell, and users alleging it ignored security while chasing profits.

Despite these controversies, Suno has raised over $819 million in funding to date, according to PitchBook data. The company plans to add new features such as letting users remix songs, provided the respective artists opt-in to a new program it is setting up with music labels that lets Suno use their songs for AI-generated features.

Suno also plans to add a watermark to songs generated using its platform and introduce new download limits based on the account’s tier. The model announcement comes a day after the company admitted to training its models using YouTube videos.
