The three-lane mental model
Think of Mini as the sketchbook, Wild as the collage wall, and V6 as the mastering suite. All three are V6-generation models launched around September 9, 2026, but they optimize for different moments in a project.
Side-by-side comparison
Use this table when you are deciding which tab to open next.
| Need | Reach for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fast free drafts | v6-mini | Available to all users; low friction |
| Surprising arrangements | v6-wild | Experimental Pro/Premier lane |
| Polished final take | v6 | Precise Pro/Premier control |
| Section edit polish | v6 | Best for controlled rewrites |
| Genre collision mashups | v6-wild | High variance helps discovery |
Recommended workflow
Start on Mini until the lyric and groove feel right. Promote keepers to Wild when you want alternate hooks or riskier production. Lock the release candidate on V6 with Variety 0 and Style Influence Strong if the style brief is non-negotiable.
Mini → Wild → V6
This ladder saves credits and creative energy. You only pay Pro/Premier attention once the idea has already proven itself on Mini.
When not to switch models
If a Mini take is already 90% there, jump straight to V6 section edit instead of bouncing through Wild. Extra model hops can muddy your reference chain.
- Stay on one model while iterating lyrics.
- Change models when the creative goal changes—not every regenerate.
- Document which model produced each favorite take.
