Suno and Warner Settle, Partner

AI music firm Suno and Warner Music Group (WMG) have formed a partnership, resolving previous litigation. Suno will acquire WMG's concert discovery platform, Songkick, and continue to operate it. The deal aims to create a licensed AI music platform that compensates artists and opens new revenue streams.

Suno will launch new licensed AI models in 2026, replacing its current models. Changes to Suno's platform include requiring paid accounts for audio downloads and download restrictions for free users. The agreement gives artists control over how their names, images, likenesses, voices, and compositions are used in AI-generated music.

The partnership seeks to balance technological innovation with artist compensation. Suno has reached 100 million creators and is rapidly scaling. The collaboration aims to deepen the artist-fan connection by combining interactive music with live performance.
