Suno has switched on its v6 generation of music models and retired everything that came before. The company frames v6 as the licensed product it promised when it settled with Warner Music last November, and it now lists Warner, BMG and Believe as partners, with a share of revenue flowing back to them. Three variants ship: v6 and v6-Wild for paying tiers and v6-mini for everyone. Chief product officer Jack Brody told Music Business Worldwide the models were trained from scratch on partner-licensed material, user data and the team's own research, and pointedly not on anything from Universal or Sony, who are still suing over the earlier models. The launch lands in the middle of a crowded legal calendar for Suno: a GEMA loss in Munich, new claims in Denmark and Canada, a Round Hill suit seeking up to a billion dollars, and a class action from Jason Isbell and other artists over use of their names and likenesses.
