Udio and Kobalt have announced a strategic partnership, with the AI music start-up set to launch their revamped AI music service later this year. The partnership aims to pave a path for collaboration on Udio’s revamped service, set to be launched later this month. This is the third partnership Udio has with the music industry establishment since November 2025, following deals with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group to license their works to train their AI models if artists and songwriters at these companies opt-in. The agreement establishes a pathway for new revenue streams for Kobalt artists and writers, but details on how songwriters can participate are not specified.
