Suno Launches V6 AI Music Models in Partnership with WMG, BMG, and Believe

Suno said the new models use licensed label tracks and include a free mini version, while revenue will be shared with partners.

  • On Wednesday, AI music startup Suno launched its v6 model suite in partnership with Warner Music Group , BMG, and Believe, enabling users to generate music from licensed artist catalogs.
  • Suno developed these models after settling copyright lawsuits with major labels last year, committing to retire previous versions trained on unlicensed material to address widespread infringement allegations.
  • The v6 family includes three tiers—v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini—each offering distinct features including partial song editing, mashups, and audio sampling for both paying and free users.
  • Suno Chief Product Officer Jack Brody confirmed the startup is sharing revenue with label partners, establishing a framework for future opt-in experiences where artists can monetize licensed remixes.
  • Despite these partnerships, Suno faces ongoing copyright lawsuits from Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, while a German court ruled the company breached copyright this year.
