Suno has officially transitioned its platform to the new v6 generation, which consists of three distinct models. These new versions replace all previous iterations, including the v5.5 update released in March and the v5 model from September 2025. The company developed these models in collaboration with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe.
The v6 models support multimodal inputs, allowing users to create music from text, audio, images, or video. Key features include the ability to modify specific segments of a track, such as changing a chorus or individual lyric lines, without regenerating the entire song. Users can also create mashups by combining elements from different sources or isolating samples to build new beats.
The partnership with Warner Music, BMG, and Believe follows a settlement reached in November 2025. Suno has committed to using licensed data for its successor models. Meanwhile, legal challenges persist, as Universal and Sony remain plaintiffs in a case coordinated by the RIAA in June 2024. Additionally, a Munich court ruled in July that Suno infringed on copyrights in its v3.5 and v4 models.
Suno maintains strict confidentiality regarding its training data, having requested that the US District Court in Massachusetts keep the specific size of its datasets under seal. The company claims that disclosing this information could reveal its development strategy to competitors. Suno recently raised $400 million in June, reaching a valuation of $5.4 billion.
Future plans include offerings centered on individual artists, who will have the option to participate and receive compensation. Songs created using the partner-developed models will be eligible for distribution through Believe and TuneCore. Suno continues to implement safeguards, such as removing artist names from training metadata and monitoring uploads for unauthorized content.
