Hi everyone, After your testing and feedback, we've updated the default model from V7 to V8.1! A reminder of what's new in V8.1: The model is smarter, more coherent, better adheres to detailed prompts, and renders text better than ever With HD mode enabled, V8.1 renders at twice the size and 4x the resolution of V7 images V8.1 is incredibly fast.

Heya everyone! We're making it easier to explore different styles in draft mode for V8.1. Include --sref random in your draft-mode prompt to create 24 images with different styles To turn on draft mode, click the ⚡ icon in the prompt bar or include --draft in your prompt Have fun!
Web Updates
Conversational mode has been improved across text and voice input: When a voice session starts, it has access to your Image Prompts, Style References, sidebar settings, and recent jobs. Image Prompts now work from the tray and sidebar. Tray images persist across voice submissions until you remove them. You can add references without exiting voice.
Midjourney’s First Acquisition

As an adult I find myself in the unusual position of having everything I wanted and two questions come to mind next: How can I use this opportunity to make baby David proud?
Version 8.2
Hi everyone! We are launching our V8.2 image model today. This update focuses on aesthetics and image quality and personalization. Images should be more creative, bold, sophisticated, edgy and fresh Random situations where you'd get a low quality image should be dramatically reduced Personalization will "understand" your personal taste much better.
V8.1 Updates
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.
Changelog - 8/20/26
Two weeks ago, we launched a very rough draft of some big changes to alpha.midjourney.com . Since then, thousands of you have been testing and hundreds have given us thoughtful feedback, both positive and negative (Thank you! Yes, even the brutal stuff.). That's the deal with alpha: you see it early, we get to pressure test it together.
