Warner Music Group and Stability AI team up on licensed AI tools for music creation

Warner Music Group and Stability AI announced a partnership to build professional generative audio tools. Stability's models are trained on licensed data.

NEW YORK, November 19, 2025 Warner Music Group and Stability AI announced a partnership to build professional-grade generative audio tools for artists, songwriters and producers. Financial terms were not disclosed.1

Terms of the deal

The companies will work directly with artists to understand how they use emerging technology and shape tools around their workflows. Stability AI describes its Stable Audio models as commercially safe and trained exclusively on licensed data.1 No fees, term or catalog details were published.

The public record on this agreement is limited to the announcement and the press coverage cited below. The price is listed here as: Undisclosed. The status shown, Announced, reflects the most recent reporting available on October 22, 2026, and any later amendments are not captured.

Background

The partnership was announced on the same day as Warner's settlement and licensing deal with Udio. It followed Stability AI's alliance with Universal Music Group announced in October 2025. Warner's chief digital officer Carletta Higginson called the collaboration an important step toward responsible, artist-friendly AI tools.1

What it means for data sellers

For data owners, the pattern is clear: the same catalog can support several licensed AI partners, each with a different product purpose. Sellers should avoid exclusivity unless it is priced in, and should specify which products may use their data.

A seller comparing this deal with its own situation should ask what the buyer actually receives: raw data, a license to train, a license to display, or a right to build a product. Each is priced differently, and the answer should be written into the agreement rather than inferred from a press release.

How the deal came together

  1. Prior label deal. Stability AI had signed an alliance with Universal Music Group in October 2025.
  2. Warner talks. Warner worked on a partnership aimed at artist-friendly tools.
  3. Announcement. The companies announced the partnership in New York on November 19, 2025.
  4. Co-design. They will work directly with artists to shape the tools around creative workflows.

Takeaways for companies with data

  • Second movers can reuse a template set by a rival label's deal.
  • A buyer's licensed-only training record is a selling point in rights negotiations.
  • Expect partnerships to start with tool design before volume data transfers.
