Do low-filter models allow every request?
Content policy, side by side
Two separate facts sit behind these labels. The first is what we do, which is nothing: no platform content filter, and no maturity flag to set on a request. The second is what each model does on its own, and that is the only part that varies between these two.
Suno v6
Filtered
This model refuses requests beyond its own limits outright. Measured, not assumed — models we have not measured carry no label at all.
Usage note Suno moderates lyrics and descriptions itself. Explicit lyrics and explicit descriptions are refused within seconds and are not charged, and prompts that name real artists are refused. You are responsible for the lyrics you submit and for how you use the songs.
Suno v6 Mini
Filtered
This model refuses requests beyond its own limits outright. Measured, not assumed — models we have not measured carry no label at all.
Usage note Suno moderates lyrics and descriptions itself. Lyrics and descriptions above the Mild level are refused within seconds and are not charged, and prompts that name real artists are refused. You are responsible for the lyrics you submit and for how you use the songs.
Use these content labels to shortlist models, then open each model page for available examples and content-test details.
The label never changes your obligations. Age, consent, real-person likeness and the law where you operate stay with you, and SpicyAPI does not inspect each request.
Can I swap the model ID without changing the request body?
Request body, field by field
The task lifecycle is shared; the body is not. Each endpoint publishes its own JSON Schema and the API validates against that, so this is the list to reconcile before a switch.
- 16 fields appear in both request bodies under the same names. audio_weight, generate_lyrics, image_urls, instrumental, lyrics, negative_prompt, persona_id, persona_model, prompt, reference_audio_urls, reference_video_urls, style_weight, title, variety, vocal_gender, weirdness
- Suno v6 accepts no field the other one lacks.
- Suno v6 Mini accepts no field the other one lacks.
- Suno v6 requires prompt.
- Suno v6 Mini requires prompt.
- Both reject unknown fields outright, so a parameter left over from the other model comes back as a validation error instead of being quietly ignored.

Moving from one to the other
The model identifiers are suno/v6/text-to-audio and suno/v6-mini/text-to-audio, and both go in the same field of the same request.
Both run the same way: submit the task, then poll it or take the callback. Queueing and retry logic carry over unchanged.
Both use the same submit-and-track flow, but their required inputs may differ. Check each model page before switching.
One key, one balance, one set of spend caps. Both bill to the same account in US dollars, and the per-key daily, monthly and lifetime limits apply to whichever one you call.
