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.
One of the big changes in v6 is that there are actually three different models: v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini. Mini is the model available for free to all. It’s focused on fast, resource-light creation. The results it spits out are simpler and often have more artifacts that betray it as the product of an AI prompt. v6-wild is supposed to be more unpredictable. Brody said that v6-wild is designed for “happy accidents and natural imperfections.” Though, in my limited testing, I found it hard to notice a difference between wild and bog-standard v6.
All three models are dramatically better at understanding genre. I recycled a handful of prompts that I used with older models calling for “hyperpop” or “krautrock” songs that missed the mark by a mile. v6, on the other hand, nailed all the superficial hallmarks of any genre I threw at it.
