Suno has launched its v6 generation of AI music models, developed with Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe, as the company shifts from disputed training practices toward licensed catalogs, product partnerships and revenue sharing. Warner Music Group CEO Robert Kyncl said the deal with Suno is the beginning of a growing revenue stream for artists and songwriters, who will share earnings generated by Suno’s more than 2 million paying subscribers. The v6 family includes v6, v6-wild and v6-mini, with tools for natural-language editing, lyric replacement, mashups and text, audio, image or video inputs. Suno says the models were trained from the ground up using licensed Warner music and user-generated content, with Believe, TuneCore and BMG material being added. The company is retiring its previous models, which were linked to copyright litigation over alleged large-scale infringement. Suno’s settlement with Warner requires it to shut down its original large language model and co-build a replacement using fully licensed material. Kyncl said similar creation and fan-engagement products from partners including Spotify, Udio, Klay and Stability could expand the model, while legislation and litigation remain important alongside licensing. WMG and Sony Music also sued Anthropic last month over alleged intellectual-property theft.
