Suno replaces its AI models with a new one trained on licensed music as copyright suits pile up
Suno says v6 was built on licensed music data and will replace the older model lineup.
The company names Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe among the labels and distributors tied to the licensed data. Suno says v6 was not trained on the same data used for prior versions, while older models are set to be retired. The release includes paid base and experimental versions, plus a faster mini model for all users. Suno is still facing suits from Sony, Universal, artists and users, and the announcement follows its admission that it trained models on YouTube videos. TechCrunch AI's note
