Reservoir Media Management filed two lawsuits on Oct. 21 alleging Suno scraped 1,050 copyrighted songs, including works by Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell and Madonna, while Anthropic used lyrics from 853 songs to train its Claude models. Reservoir is seeking $186.4 million from Suno and $151.4 million from Anthropic, citing copyright infringement, bypassing logins and paywalls, and stripping songwriter credit data.
Kakul Srivastava, CEO of the sample platform Splice, said in a Verge interview that AI-written documents and emails undermine genuine workplace conversation. She emphasized that Splice, which is remote-first, relies on written documents followed by real human debate as its core collaborative tool, and argued that once it's unclear whether a person wrote something, the resulting discussion becomes worse and hard to recover from.
Suno has released Speech, a public beta feature on its web and mobile apps that generates spoken voiceovers alongside background music as a single track. Users can create audio via a Simple mode, describing a scene in a prompt, or an Advanced mode that accepts a custom script and lets them adjust voice gender, style and variation; background music can also be toggled off.
OpenAI announced it used thousands of AI agents to produce a solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, a decades-old open question in mathematics. Mathematicians interviewed noted that this brute-force approach differs sharply from the traditional, deliberate process of mathematical discovery, which many compare to artistic creation.
Sony Music and Universal Music Group have sued AI music generator Suno again, alleging its newly launched v6 model still infringes their copyrights. The labels argue v6 was trained on outputs from Suno's earlier models, which themselves relied on unlicensed music, and that this 'model laundering' carries the infringement forward even without direct use of the original recordings.
Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group have amended their copyright lawsuit against AI music generator Suno, arguing its newly released v6 models still rely on infringing material. The labels claim Suno's own admission that v6 was trained partly on 'user interactions' with earlier models means it indirectly used previously scraped copyrighted recordings, potentially implicating over 60,000 songs.
A 404 Media investigation found scammers can upload AI-generated tracks and pass them off as new releases from existing artists on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and other platforms. By exploiting a loophole in digital distribution services like DistroKid, bad actors simply falsely claim to be the artist, letting the fake songs land directly on real catalogs and pull in streaming royalties meant for the original musician.
Suno released v6, a new generation of AI music-creation models built with backing from Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. The update delivers faster, higher-quality, more expressive output along with new controls aimed at both professional musicians and first-time creators. Suno also introduced added safeguards to screen uploaded audio and lyrics for unauthorized use and improve transparency around AI involvement.
Suno released version 6 of its AI music generator, the first built using licensed content from Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe alongside user-submitted data. The update ships as three variants—v6, v6-wild, and a free lightweight v6-mini—with notable improvements in recognizing and reproducing musical genres accurately.
Suno introduced its new v6 model family, trained entirely on licensed music data from partners including Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe, replacing the data used to build earlier versions. The lineup includes a standard v6 model, an experimental 'wild' version, and a faster 'mini' model for free users, with older models set to be phased out. New editing tools let users tweak lyrics, isolate instruments, and use text, images or video as creative references.
Suno released its v6 family of AI music generators—v6, v6-wild, and v6-mini—marking its first collaboration with major record labels during model training. The flagship v6 focuses on polished, consistent output, while v6-wild targets experimental, brainstorming-style generation, and v6-mini is offered free to non-paying users. New features include natural-language editing of song sections, multi-source mashups, precise sampling, and generation from images, video, or described emotions.
Roland has released Melody Flip, a digital audio workstation plug-in that uses generative AI to create musical building blocks rather than finished songs. The tool draws from roughly 250 genre-based 'Palettes' to generate melodies, chord progressions, basslines, or drum patterns, either from scratch or based on a reference track fed in by the user. Outputs come as simple MIDI loops with basic instrument sounds, meant to be exported into a DAW and refined with other synths.
