V8.1 Updates
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
Hi everyone, we have a few V8.1 related updates today: V8.1 is now available on Discord as well as midjourney.com We've improved sharpness and image quality for V8.1! This is most noticeable for SREFs and Moodboards but you should notice across all images (especially HD) To save compute during a server transition, we're making SD default for a bit.
