Two platforms.
Same questions.
Cohere API
DEVELOPER / CODING
PROMPT
Same as Cohere Coral — irrevocable, sublicensable rights grant over all API input data. Enterprise agreements may negotiate narrower terms.
OUTPUT
Not explicitly addressed in Cohere's Terms. Consult enterprise contract for specifics.
TRAINING
API customer data used to improve Cohere Solution by default. Fine-tuning data may be shared with third parties unless restricted by enterprise agreement.
COMMERCIAL
B2B enterprise product. Commercial use is the intended purpose.
235 verified findings across the displayed surfaces.
Udio
IMAGE / VIDEO / AUDIO GENERATION
PROMPT
Users retain ownership of prompts and lyrics submitted to Udio. Udio is granted a license to use inputs and outputs for platform operation and improvement.
OUTPUT
Udio asserts that it assigns generated music to users, but reserves broad rights including the right to use generated songs for marketing and model training.
TRAINING
Udio explicitly grants itself a 'royalty free, fully paid-up, transferable, sub-licensable, assignable, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable' license to use 'Your Content' (inputs and content you post) including 'to train or otherwise improve or modify our artificial intelligence and machine learning model(s) related to the Services.' This training license is part of the standard ToS without opt-out.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is technically permitted per Udio's ToS, but the underlying training data copyright lawsuit creates significant legal risk for commercial use of Udio-generated music.
