Suno v6 ships on licensed music, retires its old models
Trained from scratch on Warner, BMG and Believe catalogues: three variants, a free v6-mini, new stem-splitting and reference edits, plus safer commercial use.

Three v6 models — and v6-mini is free
Suno split the launch into v6 (paid base), v6-wild (paid, experimental) and a faster v6-mini that's free for everyone. If you make music in Suno, the new engine reaches the free tier at no cost.
Trained clean, on licensed catalogues
v6 was trained from scratch on licensed music from Warner, BMG and Believe, and Suno says it does not reuse the data behind its older versions. For anyone shipping AI music in a product, that's a far cleaner provenance story than the YouTube-scraped past the company just admitted to.
Your old Suno models are being retired
Suno plans to sunset its previous models, so tracks and pipelines built on them are on the clock. Regenerate anything you depend on — the sound will shift as the engine changes underneath you.
New controls: stem split, section edits, image/video refs
v6 adds instrument separation, prompt- and lyric-level editing of individual song sections, and using text, images or video as references for a track. That turns Suno from one-shot generation into something you can actually art-direct.
Build this weekend: a royalty-safer soundtrack layer
With a label-licensed model and a free mini tier, you can drop generated music into an app, game or video tool without the copyright cloud that hung over earlier versions. Remix-from-catalogue is coming next as an opt-in label program.
