Warner Music Group said Tuesday it settled its lawsuit accusing AI music company Suno of training its models on copyrighted material, marking the first settlement after the three major record labels and the Recording Industry Association of America sued the fast-growing and controversial AI startup last year.

Warner Music and Suno said in a release Tuesday afternoon they will enter a partnership through which Suno will launch “new, more advanced and licensed models” for song generation and will restrict downloading audio to paid accounts only.

Warner Music also said it sold Songkick, a live music discovery platform, to Suno.
