Suno releases its first AI music model made with record industry help
TL;DR
Suno's new v6 AI music model is its first made with support from the record industry. Suno's Jack Brody told The Verge that v6 was "trained from the ground up, with a new set of data that does not include the same data that our previous models were trained on. " The data includes content licensed from partners Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, as well as "user data. " It's unclear whether that means v6 training data is completely free of dubiously obtained content.
Nauti's Take
A model trained from scratch on licensed catalogs from Warner, BMG and Believe is real progress for anyone who wants to use AI music commercially without legal exposure. What stays open is the phrase user data, which Suno has yet to define, and whether the provenance issues of the older models are actually gone.
v6 is worth testing for client work, while anything contract bound still needs written assurances.
