  • Suno launched its v6 AI music suite under a Warner Music Group licensing partnership on September 9, 2026.
  • Suno reports more than 2 million paying subscribers, roughly 100 million content creators and a $5.4 billion valuation, while artist payment terms remain undisclosed.
  • Sony and Universal continue legal action over alleged infringement by Suno, while Sony separately sued Udio over more than 30,000 recordings.

Warner Music Group and artificial-intelligence music platform Suno have moved from a copyright lawsuit to a licensing partnership supporting Suno's v6 suite, launched on September 9, 2026. The agreement allows Suno to train models on WMG's catalog and share revenue with participating artists and songwriters through an opt-in framework covering work, names, likenesses and voices. Suno's v6, v6-wild and free v6-mini models also use licensed content from BMG and Believe. Suno reports more than 2 million paying subscribers and roughly 100 million users who have created content, contributing to a $5.4 billion valuation. However, the companies have not disclosed artist payment terms, participation numbers or the precise scope of opt-outs. Rival Udio has agreements with Universal Music Group and Warner, while Spotify is planning a paid Premium tool. Sony and Universal continue legal action involving Suno, and Sony also filed a second lawsuit against Udio over more than 30,000 recordings. A Munich court ruled against Suno in July in a GEMA case, while musicians, unions and songwriters challenge whether labels control all relevant composition, sound-recording and publicity rights.
