According to chief product officer Jack Brody, the new generation was trained from scratch on a different dataset. It included licensed material from Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe, as well as user data; however, the company has not publicly disclosed the dataset’s full composition.

Expert commentary

The agreements provide for revenue sharing with participating rights holders, although financial terms have not been disclosed. Suno has restricted requests to directly imitate well-known artists and promises separate opt-in products in which musicians can agree to participate and receive payment.

the launch tests whether licensing can become a workable foundation for generative music after a period of legal disputes. The key measures will be transparency about the origins of training materials, the precision of imitation restrictions and the size of actual payments to artists, as well as the quality of the new models.
