Suno Releases New AI Music Model Trained with Record Industry Data
Suno has launched its v6 AI music generation model, the first to be trained with licensed music from major record labels.
Suno, an artificial intelligence music generation company, has released its v6 AI music model, marking a significant shift in its training data. Unlike previous versions, v6 was developed with data licensed from industry partners, including Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, alongside user-generated content.
According to Jack Brody of Suno, the v6 model 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." This approach aims to address concerns regarding the data used for training AI models, a point of contention within the music industry.
The new model introduces three distinct versions: v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini. The v6-mini model is available for free and is designed for rapid music generation. The specifics of the other two models' capabilities and availability were not fully detailed in the initial announcement.
Suno's move to incorporate licensed data from major record labels signifies a potential move towards greater collaboration and compliance within the music AI landscape. The industry has been grappling with issues surrounding copyright and fair compensation for artists as AI music generation technology advances.
