Suno has spent months collecting music licensing deals like Infinity Stones — and now it has a product to show for it.
The AI music generation company has revealed details about its suite of new models, all built on its licensing deals with Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. Dubbed “V6,” the company said the collection of technology represented its most powerful models yet, with its use incorporating revenue sharing for artists and their labels. The approach kickstarts a new era that it believes will “make a bigger music industry,” according to chief product officer Jack Brody.
“It’s really kind of making good on this long-term effort to not only grow the pie for the industry, but to grow the pie in a way that benefits everyone and creates opportunities for the existing music ecosystem and artists and musicians of every size and shape to benefit from that,” Brody said in a recent interview. “That’s kind of what this is all about.”
The models, which will start rolling out to users on Wednesday, are split into three. “v6,” the flagship model available for Suno’s Pro and Premier tiers, allows users to produce songs across several genres and styles with specific instructions, letting them change things such as one lyric without a complete remorphing of a tune or create songs using text, audio, images and videos. Its “wild” variant, built for exploration, allows users across the costlier tiers to create sonic planes that sound more ambitious with less predictability across each generation. Its “mini” variant is the only “v6” model available to all users, a simpler music generation model Brody claimed remained a step above its competitors.
